Intercape Mainliner Polokwane Phalaborwa recent customer reviews
The bus did not come to the pick up point then I when I attempted to liaise with them to see if I could meet them at the next pick up point they didn’t even wait for me and absolutely refused to give me the drivers phone number and refused to have the driver call me , I missed my bus and Intercape was very unhelpful !!
