Intercape changed my bus without notification and instead gave us a BigCity bus which didn't have enough leg room.

I get to the pick up point and 3 Intercity Buses come in and leave, shortly comes 2 Eagle Liner buses and I go there only to be told that I was supposed to be on 1 of the 3 Intercity that already left. I ask the gentleman how so cause my ticket clearly says Eagle Liner and not Intercity. He then explains that its 1 company, so now I'm in an Eagle Liner bus to Jhb Park station and I'm told to go to check in and I did so thinking that I'll be placed in a bus shortly. Did I not sit for an hour waiting only so be put in a bus that was so so uncomfortable, there was wind coming inside the window from outside and the stuff is very cocky you'd swear they're doing us a favor.

The bus was clean and comfortable. Peaceful for most of the trip until it started raining, the window I sat next to was faulty and let the rain through the window. That was uncomfortable but gladly did not last long. Later on, a man sitting in the seat across us seemed to have had something to drink and was becoming more sociable, that got to a point. He started making the ladies around him uncomfortable by getting too close and trying to touch them even after they asked him not to disturb him. He continued being disruptive and noisy for the 2 hours we had left of the trip. Close to the end he spilt what he was drinking on the floor and carpet, leaving an unpleasant smell in the bus. As we were getting off the bus he stumbled out, leaving many who were still in and about to get on quite disturbed. Measures should be taken to avoid situations like this and for perpetrators to be held accountable

It was delayed, from Johannesburg onwards. It was a rare occasion for me, as I don't often travel by bus or coach. I enjoyed the ride and my own snacks in getting to the destination, but not the delay so much, though I was calm and not angry.

The bus was of 16:00 and I arrived at 15:30. I was awaiting for the bus for about 2hrs. I called Greyhound, their customer care line was so ineffective no one pick the phone. I then went to its Facebook page. After complaining in the lack of customer care, they then send the message informing that the bus is delayed. I followed Up again asking on what time will the bus. No response.

I did not receive the ticket to my email as supposed to be the case. On my last destination I was asked for the ticket by the inspect of which I didn't have. I was tired and the only thing in my mind was to go home and sleep. The other thing, the bus arrived late from my boarding station. Customer care is non-existent. The emails bounced. Some phone numbers listed on the site are not working. The one that happens to go through, the lady answering the phone was very poor.

Firstly, the bus was late. It was in such a good condition. When we got to Johannesburg station, we were told to get off that took an hour. We left and then in the middle of the trip the second driver told us he’s going to their depot to change the bus again. We were delayed and the hospitality was terrible

I was supposed to get dropped off in Bloemfontein at 12:35am Tuesday 2 September and never got dropped off. My mother had to drive 2 hours alone to Colesberg to pick me up at 01:00 in the morning and then drive back home and we only got home after 06:00.
