Intercape Sleepliner Johannesburg Mossel Bay recent customer reviews

The best bus ever.i always use it for its comfort especially long distance of 16hrs

Thembelani N.

It was very disappointing that we booked for a sleepliner ,the bus was late and it broke down and we were then compensated with a mainliner and it was filthy and faulty too. Turned into the worst almost 24 hour journey with a toddler.

Matthew Jason S.

December 22, 2023

The trip was supposed to take 17 hours. It wook 24 hours. The time increase of 4,5 hours was because of a broken bus and the time to fix it. The other 2,5 hours probably was traffic.
