Intercape bus was very dirty. Toilet had no toilet paper, no water to wash my hands and I couldn't flush the toilet.. The toilet was filthy and smelled very bad
Users have reported that the bus service was excellent, consistently arriving on time and even reaching destinations ahead of schedule. This punctuality seems to be a common highlight among travelers' experiences with this company.
I booked a Greyhound Premium bus online, from Johannesburg to Paarl seeing that the pictures of the said bus as very comfortable and spacious, making me opt for a bus instead of a flight. To my surprise, the bus I boarded was very different from the one I saw online. I had a a very tiresome and uncomfortable. What a terrible journey I had by Greyhound. I feel I was ripped off.

According to user feedback, the drivers were professional and friendly, contributing positively to their travel experience. However, there was a mention of the bus not arriving at its scheduled estimated time of arrival (ETA), which could be an area for improvement in punctuality.
Users have expressed satisfaction with the overall service, highlighting that the buses are neat and tidy. The affordability of the service is also appreciated by passengers. However, some travelers noted disturbances due to crying babies during their journey, which affected their ability to rest comfortably while on board.
The bus broke down and my traveller's are still travelling with a possibility that they might miss their appointment

The trip was not that good because the drivers left one passenger and we had to turn around an hour into the journey after the other passengers had told them that one passenger is missing.
