Intercity Xpress Smithfield Johannesburg recent customer reviews

It was just about 3 hours late, and the bus that i got on to, didnt even have my details - and so I had to wait an additional 20 minutes before being allowed to board the bus. I was extremely late for work, and just overall set me back. Worst part is that the bus's customer care service number does not work. So no assistance what so ever while waiting all that time in the late, cold night outside a petrol station.
