Intercape George Colesberg recent customer reviews

Approximately 30kilos from George the bus broke with a dangerous oil leak. This was alarming since the bus came from Mosselbay Depot. Was it not supposed to be roadworthy? If yes, I need someone to explain how the oil leakage occur. We waited for almost 3 hours for another bus. This time it was that stinky bus. A regular bus and we paid for full flexi sleepliner. When we moved over to another bus I was sitting very uncomfortable with the man infront of me basically on my lap. No space for my legs.

Please check your busses before taking passengers. We were stuck on the road for more than an hour because it broke down. After that we got a replacement bus that wasn't comfortable and smaller than the one we have booked. Also it was smelling
