2 hour 10 min trip became an 5 hour 14 min trip , we sat in bus no one came to use informing us why we not leaving
The driver were sitting sleeping in his seat the hostess were who know where
Later i claimed out and ask why we not leaving and got an comment the bus are broken
I asked how long the driver just look at me like i am crazy
Later i asked another person from inter ape whats going on and he said they sending an bus from Pretoria to come replace this one but he do not know how long
Later an Bakie pulled up and jumped the bus so the battery was flat and the bus could not start
Most properly because the driver did not switch of the lights and were sleeping in his seat.
Very disappointing trip will never use inter cape again or suggest it to any one i know.

The staff have excellent service. So nice and helpful. The folks that eat on the bus can get to be an issue. I get that the must snack but think cooked food like KFC and fish should be prohibited
