Intercape Mainliner Grahamstown Mthatha recent customer reviews
The bus was 2 hour's late and I arrived 3 hour's later than the anticipated time so I'm not satisfied but since it's the first problem I'm encountering with intercape mainliner, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt
1. The toilets are not maintained. The whole bus was smelling pee. 2. If the bus can not reach the destination then it should be their the bus owners responsibility to hire a taxi to drive people to their intended destination.
I am not happy with Intercape the bus delayed with more than 2 hours and they did not even bother contacting us I had to call and find out if the bus was still coming and even on the call I was put on hold for a while.
