The bus was delayed 1 hour and when we got there at the engen stop, the bus already left. So I am very dissatisfied by the way they operated during my first bus trip.

My bus did not arrive, I had to take another bus, I was at the station from 04:00 nobody contact me, if it was not for the Intercape sleepliner drivers I would have not made it to Bloem.
