I have been a loyal Intercape passenger, travelling from Joburg and Bloemfontein from the early 2000’s.
The appalling behaviour of the driver of bus 247 was a first time experience. He treated both me and my son like rubbish.
On Saturday morning, 20 September 2025 (Bosman), Pretoria I approached the bus driver with my son, to hand him my son’s traveling Form (as advised at the counter). I greeted him and he just looked at me with a blank face.
He proceeded deliberately to speak to my son in a language that neither myself nor my son could understand (further excercabating the child’s anxiety of traveling alone).
He looked at the traveling Form I was interacted to give him like the paper was an irritation to him.
Intercape, this is not the 1st time that I notice your drivers get irritable once a child travels alone? Granted Saturday’s driver was set on demonstrating his irritability.
Bus: 247
Saturday: 20 September 2025 (Pretoria, Bosman)
Destination: Capetown (via Welkom Free State)
I expect this matter to be addressed with the driver, and feedback be provided to me. I spent R500+ ticket to be treated like rubbish. Failure of which, I’ll definitely take not only my money elsewhere but I WILL share this exp with counterparts, family and anyone else I’m inclined to.
Please do the right thing and address this disgusting behaviour of the said bus driver as I await feedback from yourselves.

What i did not enjoy: The bus was delayed for almost one hour.
The overall conditionin terms of cleanliness needs to be upgraded. The seats and curtains needs some washing.
What i enjoyed. The two elder uncles who were driving us were very good drivers, very hospitable and decent. I really respect them. Pity i couldn't note their names. But please keep them, They are the best.

Marumo M.
Cramped space made it hard for one to feel comfortable and the fact that I was transferred to another bus from a different company on my way to Welkom really made me angry as the standard of the bus seemed too low to that of yours. Really I had a bad experience.

Carel G.
I enjoyed my trip and was very surprised when the driver asked if someone will pray before we get on the road.
I didn't like the way he treated me when I got on the bus. This was my first time that I travelled by bus and when I asked if I was on the right bus he told me that I must get on the bus not even sure if the bus is going to stop in Welkom.
