Intercape Mainliner George Cape Town recent customer reviews
Unfortunately, this was not a good experience. The bus departed 55 minutes late, which already set the tone for the trip.
Shortly after departure, the bus left without my friend’s husband, who is 80 years old. We had to shout for the driver to stop and reverse to fetch him. The bus also had to turn back again to collect a youngster who had stepped out for a smoke break and missed the bus.
We were seated close to the toilet, and the smell was unpleasant for much of the journey. The driver was also driving excessively over the brakes, which made the trip uncomfortable.
We eventually arrived at our destination 1 hour and 35 minutes late. There were only two stops during the entire journey - one for 10 minutes and another for 5 minutes - which is insufficient time to use the bathroom and have a proper break for such a long trip.
Collecting our luggage at Bellville was also challenging, as the driver appeared to be in a rush, adding to the overall frustration.
Overall, the trip felt rushed, poorly managed, and not very considerate of passengers’ comfort or needs.

Big Sky George Cape Town recent customer reviews
In the almost 6hr journey from George to Cape Town there was only one 10min stop to use the restrooms in Mossel bay, forcing people to make use of the on-board toilet that was so disgusting that your shoes stuck to the floor from all the urine on it. Seats are so cramped that my husband was unable to fit his legs in behind the seat in front of him and had to sit sideways with his legs and feet in the isle with no help from on-board staff. Worst travel experience I've had in over 40 years

Intercity Xpress George Cape Town recent customer reviews
I was not happy because the bus l booked didn't come and l was taken by another bus. Which the bus didn't not come in time. The girl who works in Capetown Intercity Express office is very rude. Her service is poor better look for another person who is willing to pay attention to the customer. I ended up paying extra R 20 + R50 due to their negligence when booking a person. I was very disappointed. I have call recordings of her being rough and rude. I am going to post it on social media so that people will choose the right bus with good customer care and always be on time.

The bus was late by 2hours. And they didn't send any notifications about it. Instead I had to go through a very hard search for their whatsapp number so they can tell me where the bus is via booking number. Overall experience very bad. Almost got late for my flight because of delays in the bus.

Eagle Liner George Cape Town recent customer reviews
The bus driver's attitudes were just amazing. I felt safe and welcomed. I usually use Eagle Liner and I have met these bus drivers before. Really amazing, kind, decent and helpful people. The heat was the biggest problem, it was unbearably hot. They should maintain a standard temperature.
The bus was more than 2 hours late.
