Im unhappy person with the driver, he told my nieces to go out of bus & weigh their bag in the ofc so they can get a ticket no, they went inside the office to do as they are told, the heartless man left all 3 and they said since the bus left them they can't change tickets, we must buy another set😭 very disappointed with intercape and the way they treated those kids after I left them inside the bus. Had to go back & fetch them
