The trip was okay. The one driver spoke too much and he swore a lot in his conversations with the other driver. The other driver (Tswana speaking) was very nice and professional.

I didn't enjoy anything at all. The drivers are very rude, along the way the bus had a problem (perhaps mechanical), at that point bus drivers just stopped, and did not say anything to the passengers.
It is like passengers had to prophetically know that the bus stopped because it has a problem.
The other bus took not less than 2 hours to get to us. I think Intercape is no longer serious with its services as it used to be.
Based on 9682 reviews, the company was rated 2.7 stars on Busbud. Travellers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the departure location but often complained with the WiFi. Eagle Liner ticket prices on this trip start at US$18
