Intercape Mainliner Bloemfontein Durban recent customer reviews

Bus was booked as connecting but intercape did not receive it as such and the connecting bus had already left once I arrived with the 1st bus which was 2 hours late and I had to forfeit the 2nd bus ticket I am asking for some kind of correction for such a mistake because I did not get any value for my money

The bus was full of cockroaches, please clean and fumigate your busses. The only thing that I enjoyed is that the driver was very cautious and not speeding
