On my trip from east London to Bloemfontein we changed buses and the bus driver drove past my destination he didn't know where we were going because who ever wrote the list for destination didn't include our destination so the bus driver to us to à near by tow

Good day. I had a pleasant experience traveling with Intercape Mainliner overall. However, the toilet on the bus was blocked and emitted an unpleasant odor, which was quite uncomfortable. I kindly suggest improving the condition of the onboard toilets. Aside from that, everything else was excellent.
Jaimee J.
The problem I have is with staff, bad attitude; disrespect and lack of communication skills. They speak as if they own the bus and we just got a lift.
