Intercape Mainliner Johannesburg Mount Frere recent customer reviews
Dear Intercape Consultant,
I am extremely disappointed with the service I received. The bus I originally booked was changed without my consent and I was transferred to a much poorer bus that was extremely cold throughout the journey.
What makes this even more frustrating is that I was never given any explanation for why I was moved to another bus, despite having paid a significant amount of money for my original booking. This level of service is unacceptable and does not reflect what I expected when I made my reservation.
I would appreciate a clear explanation for this change and an appropriate resolution to this matter.

Citiliner Plus Johannesburg Mount Frere recent customer reviews
I had a very nice trip to Mount Frere. But I was not happy with the guy who was packing our parcels, he told me to pay for the Television to the driver of the bus, but the lady told me to go to the windows where we buy tickets to pay there, and there I was told to return to the bus and I'm not supposed to pay for the television. Then the guys told me that they are not going to pack the TV in the bus if I don't pay that R150, and I had no choice but to give them

Intercity Xpress Johannesburg Mount Frere recent customer reviews
Intercity Xpress died 10 minutes away from park station and the was no communication for almost an hour. They then informed us that we will wait for another bus. The bus was Eagle liner of which if I wanted it I could've booked it. Instead of leaving Joburg at 7pm we left at 9pm without any communication from the bus service provider.
