If not any other great and cheap modes of transport getting around? | Thanks  faurec faure c Post Count: 26 Msg: #2 136 days ago, July 3rd 2009 | Erin | Train travel in SA is near to two extremes. If you have the budget, try Rovos Rail or the Blue Train. Beware, it is expensive, but admitted, they are exclusive. On the other end train travel is not up to standard. Depending on your destination, the alternatives include air or bus. Main centres are serviced by budget and national air carriers. There are very good passenger bus services that link most centres on the main highways. Try Interkaap, Translux, Baz and others. Cost effective, faster than trains and you can schedule rides during day or overnight. Shout for more info, if you want Faure  Travelling Artist Jeanette Hedley Post Count: 8 Msg: #3 117 days ago, July 22nd 2009 | I used the Baz Bus last Nov/Dec and was very pleased with the service and prices. Maybe check them out? | Jeanette ez frances erin Post Count: 3 Msg: #4 117 days ago, July 22nd 2009 | Thanks heaps! I have been checking them all out and they look great :) | think i might use the intercape bus, it's quite cheap from what i can see. It's so exciting planning it all! Can't wait to go... faurec faure c Post Count: 26 Msg: #5 117 days ago, July 22nd 2009 | erin | once you arive and need any help or advice, feel free to call - I am in Cape Town Faure ez frances erin Post Count: 3 Msg: #6 116 days ago, July 22nd 2009 | Thank you so much!
