Many users appreciated the friendly drivers and found the bus comfortable. The ride was generally considered warm and enjoyable, with some mentioning good value for money. However, there were consistent concerns about limited legroom and issues with air conditioning not being turned on during hot weather conditions.
I felt so disrepcted and annoyed.The bus was scheduled to leave Bethlehem at 5:45 pm but arrived plus an hour later without any communication.
I had to call head office of Intercape to enquire.
I was really inconvinienced.
