Intercape Mainliner Kathu Durban recent customer reviews
The trip was safe but the bus never met the standards. Seat adjuster was faulty,which made the seat uncomfortable for me.
Alungile B.
The drivers don't put the aircon on room temperature, it was extremely hot and when I asked the driver to put on the aircon he became very hostile and arrogant. I use your service every month to North Cape.
