Big Sky Middelburg Mbombela recent customer reviews

The bus was supposed to depart 16:55 when I got there by 16:50 it was already gone, whilst I received a call earlier from Intercape and they said the bus was early. I’m not happy about big sky, they sometimes late and we still board but they even have the liver to leave before departure time and leave their clients behind.
