Intercape Mainliner Port Elizabeth East London recent customer reviews
The staff in Gqeberha seemed completely unfazed and unfriendly to me. And also the bus was an hour and 10 minutes late. Everytime I'd ask a staff member where is the bus they say "coming now" "coming now". They should know where the bus is so why not indicate a specific time that the bus will arrive and also apologize. Nobody seemed to care that it was late. Overall I'm not surprised with the experience but still disappointed.

Service was overall efficient. Drivers were kind and we'll disciplined. There must be a waste management procedure though because the busses are quite filthy and although it's the customers who throw rubble in the bus, drivers must implement the procedure.
