Intercape Mainliner Queenstown Carletonville recent customer reviews

I basically enjoyed the trip but please do make other passengers know very well to sit properly and occupy their own sit as we all paid for our sits. People and make other people uncomfortable as if they are sitting in their cars and that it only their monies that matters. I was not comfortable at all by the lady sitting next to me, I even moved to another sit after other passengers arrived at their destination in Bloemfontein.
