Intercity crew have good public relations and the bus is up to standard with comfortable seats.
Try to improve on the toilet side probably by providing sprays to keep the smell low

The price from Johannesburg to Upington was double to what it was 2 months ago. R630 from Upington to Johannesburg 07/11/24. R1330 for a one way is just ripping off
