Firstly the bus was 3 hours late. The bus did not stop at Paarl and apparantly I had to get off in Somerset West which I did not know. I had to get off at Belville station woman alone at 22H10. The driver just said that that is how it is. I do not know Cape Town at all and there I was left alone at that time of night at Belville station. I will definately not recommend Intercape to anybody after my ordeal!!!
