We were stuck for more than 2hrs in one of your pick up in vanderbalijpark. Rescue crew came very late

Selina N.

November 15, 2025

I didn't enjoy anything at all. The drivers are very rude, along the way the bus had a problem (perhaps mechanical), at that point bus drivers just stopped, and did not say anything to the passengers. It is like passengers had to prophetically know that the bus stopped because it has a problem. The other bus took not less than 2 hours to get to us. I think Intercape is no longer serious with its services as it used to be.

I only book the Big Sky busses. My booking was for late in the afternoon and there were papers and empty food packages on the floor. I wish the bus representatives would just look out for rubbish at every stop just to keep the bus clean and less chaotic. Besides that, I love the service.
