Intercape Mainliner Umgababa Johannesburg recent customer reviews
I booked the mainliner but got to travel with the BigCity Sky bus which was such a terrible experience. It was hot, the seats were not comfortable and it smelled because of the toilet. I genuinely did not enjoy my ride from Durban to Joburg. Travelling to, I booked the mainliner and I travelled with the mainliner and the experience was top tier as always. The experience was extremely dissatisfying, disappointing and I genuinely do not look forward to travelling with Intercape cause of the changing of buses.
