Intercape Mainliner Bethlehem Johannesburg recent customer reviews

I booked a trip for my daughter. She arrived on time. The bus was one hour late. That is understandable. The problem is that there was no communication about the delay whatsoever. She was extremely anxious since this was her 1st bus trip. So she was extremely disappointed 😞

Don't sit at the back. No. The smell of of other people's pee,was overwhelming. It just needs to be cleaned more often.
