The driver was rude and the staff that puts the bags in the bus wasn't helpful very rude stuff i was not happy at all.

Inter Cape bus 802 Aircon didn't work, eventually the driver who was amazing opened the hatches for air which made it better. The conductor was unfortunately an condescending person that definitely needs to be sent for a few lessons in being a host and PR course.
