The bus came 2 hours late to the pick up point. No communication was done, very disappointing

The bus was late by 1hour 30mins and there was no update informing us that the bus is running late. Secondly there are no seat allocations, it was chaotic having to find a seat especially since people were out so it wasn’t easy to identify which seat is occupied.

I was grateful that we arrived safely. I however feel that intercape has to deal with seating accordingly .
