It was for the first time traveling from Kathu to Kimberley by bus. I usually travel from Kimberley to Bloemfontein and from Bloem to with intercape. I enjoyed the journey and the drivers were friendly and helpful. I love traveling with intercape bus. 10 out of 10

I am dissapointed in today's trip. There was 5 or 6 males consuming alcohol on the bus, 2 guys sitting in front of me and the others on the opposite side of me, I was the only female sitting near to them, as they were drinking they got more and more noisy, I tried to have a nap, but I couldn't, 1 of the drunk guys moved from his seat and wanted to sit next to me, he even attempted to move my bag, and I refused. I was scared and nervous. I think the Intercape staff should do random walks on the bus to check such things. Consuming alcohol on the bus is dangerous, if a fight breaks out, the other passengers lives are at stake.
