The bus trip was okay, however it was longer than usual. We were running late then hit a huge amount of traffic in Pietermaritzburg which made our 7 hour trip into a 9 hour trip

Very disappointed and dissatisfied. The service is poor and the bus drivers are rude and have a very bad attitude. Toilet dirty with no tissue paper. Charging port not working. Time of departure was an hour late. Bus not serviced, engine making a lot of noise and the bus broke down we stayed out of nowhere for 3 hours hungry and thirsty…yoooh worst trip ever. I regret choosing Intercape

The bus kept time
It was comfortable as far as chairs were concerned
There is a need to improve like having a toilet as it travels a long distance because the bus stops were very limited
The driver must stop to be busy with cell phone while driving

The aircon wasn't working, we even found out that the bus doesn't have enough papers to be on the road, we arrive at 9pm instead of 7:30pm

Big Sky Express Heidelberg - GP Durban recent customer reviews
The bus had a bad smell the whole way. the bus wasnt dirty or look bad it just smelled - i think the lavatory was full/ not functioning? I got in at Heidelberg so i sat in the front but the smell was still overwhelming there, i cant imagine how it was for those sitting closer. It's a good bus, comfortable and efficient, just please make sure to clean out the toilets often. I was nauseous the whole way and was too afraid to walk towards the toilet so that was uncomfortable
