Intercape Midrand Malelane recent customer reviews

The bus was supposed to leave Midrand at 05:55 but it didn't arrive. We were put on another bus and we were told that we will get ours when we get to the Johannesburg park station only for that bus to arrive at 09:40. There was no communication at all I had to call and ask what was happening only to be told that they were still fixing it. Like how? Couldn't they just send another bus?
