Intercape Mainliner Grahamstown Idutywa recent customer reviews

The experience was bad, the bus was very late as usual, it was supposed to arrive at 07h45 and it arrived 09h00. I was supposed to be in Idutywa at 12h35 and only arrived at 15h00. The phone charging points were not working and my phone switched off, which made things worse, i did not take a power bank eitj because i knew my journey will be about 4 to 5 hours, not knowing it will be 7 hours. I missed taxis to my village abd i had to pay for all the seats for a taxi to take me to my village because they last trip is at 14h00 due to my village being very far from Idutywa. Otherwise the drivers were very professional and respectful. The trip costed me a lot of money, time and my safety.
