I enjoyed NOTHING the bus was extremely late as in 1h30 minutes, meaning we have waited for 2hrs. No notification from intercape offices to alert commuters about the delay of the bus. It was so unprofessional.

I didn't enjoy anything during my trip the bus had technically issues. We have to wait for 3 hours in Johannesburg park station before we reach our destination. Also the toilet was a night mare.

The bus didn’t pitch. I later read comments online that stated that this was a normal practice for this bus service. I won't use this services ever because they do not exist.
