Intercape Mainliner Knysna Cape Town recent customer reviews
Bad. The driver was shouting at my husband like he’s a nobody forcing us to buy a 2year old a full fare ticket, very rude!
Worst bus trip of my life. I never usually have bad experiences with Intercape but this one was awful. The bus kept stopping at random stops and it wreaked of human urine the entire way. Also the bus was an hour and a half delayed with no notification to customers. We also never received stickers for our luggage which was concerning.
Only stopped once. The bus was delayed by 2hour, but only got there 3am in the morning was 5hours late. Very dangerous for a woman to stand there that time of the morning.
