Intercape Mainliner East London Pietermaritzburg recent customer reviews
The bus had a breakdown, we could tell that something was wrong with the bus the moment we left EL. but the drivers ignored it. i don't know much about buses, but that bus wasn't serviced. i travelled for 13+ hours. This was the second time i experienced this.
I was very disappointed, the I took from East London to Pietermaritzberg on Thursday delayed for 4 hours, and it was very cold we had to sit outside with other passengers near the beach. Even if a customer booked online they must be aware of such issues.
The drivers weren’t organised! We were given seat allocations but did not sit according to them, the toilet had a stench and I was sitting right next to it and my suitcase broke from being mishandled.
