Just after we passed Howick, the bus overheating so the driver could drive any further. We had to wait for the bus that was from Durban an we waited for good 2 hours, there was no communication from the driver until the passengers enquired as to what the issue. We arrived in JHB 2 hours late. This was the horrible trip I’ve had and i wouldn’t recommend Intercape to anyone.
