Intercape Mainliner Empangeni Johannesburg recent customer reviews
I don't enjoy the fact that we had to go to Durban first, can't we go straight from Empangeni, via Melmoth to Johannesburg, we sit until we tired, it is a very long drive when via Durban 😴
Bonisiwe A.
I enjoyed everything about the Intercape Mainliner but I have a slight issue with the small leg space that's available
Cebo M.
I loved how smooth and quick the trip was. I hated how the heaters were burning me.😒 I burnt throughout the whole trip and the air conditioning was useless in that extremely hot situation. I couldn’t sit up straight because it was burning my whole side. I had to remove my clothing in order to survive
