Ontop of that i had to sit the almost 6hours on a wet seat.. We were treated like little kids on the bus and were strictly instructed that were not allowed to go for number 2... You were only allowed to urinate.. I felt so uncomfartable and really would advice anybody against using intercape ever!! At almost R600 you would expect better service... Ill give my return on the intercape a skip!! EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED AND HIGHLY DISGUSTED... Intercape has gone to the dogs!!!
