Intercape Ficksburg Pietermaritzburg recent customer reviews
Hygiene issue, there was no water,toilet paper and brush. If they were present, they were not at disposal and reachable to passengers. This is what I observe. The tone of driver when addressing and announcing the stations need to improve as this was not the time using your service.
