Intercape Mainliner Potchefstroom Upington recent customer reviews

Toilet very unhygienic, stuffy overcrowded bus, air conditioning switch off and the it very hot , bus broke down in vryburg and we had to wait for six hours until another bus was sent to us. I hope the bus are serviced regularly because the experience was horrible.

The bus was 30 minutes late. We also stopped in Klerksdorp for about 20 to 30 minutes which I felt was very unnecessary as we have never stopped for more than 10 minutes there. The people who handled the tickets etc. was also struggling with the machine and it was thus very to wait a long time to be able to board the buss. We should also have been in upington at approximately half past 4 or 5 am this morning, but arrived at 5:30am this morning. The leg space was also very cramped.
