Very nice and patient driver. Bus very late left after 8 instead of before 7. Got to George at 01h00 instead of 23h30 the previous night. Stop of 10 minutes at Plett a bit short as there were queues at the toilet and coffee shop

I love Intercape busses because of their comfortability, however I don’t like the Inter-connect bus it was too small and uncomfortable, after being on the bus for +-5 hours , my legs were sore and i felt a huge discomfort.

Big Sky Port Elizabeth George recent customer reviews

Big Sky delayed by 5 hours , and when It arrived in PE , we were 10 passengers that had to climb in , we had no space at all, the bus drivers allowed other passengers to climb in the bus hence we had no space. We had to be transported to another bus station and even there we waited for close to 3 hours. The bus was supposed to depart at 7:35AM, and we had to wait for another bus that only departed at 16:50. I’m very unpleased with this experience. I regard Intercape very high, I didn’t expect such bad service from the drivers.

Bus was about 5-10minutes late, and we had to stand and wait for more then an hour for a passenger that was late. The drivers didn't even communicate regarding the waiting, I heard from another passenger. There was no air conditioning in the bus it was very hot inside.
