Intercape Mainliner Kimberley Durban recent customer reviews

Very bad i felt disrespected and unconsidered as a passenger as the bus was 5 hours late with no communication or apology from your staff. Missed a linking flight to my destination. Your company is unprofessional and does not respect their passengers.

Passengers were transferred into a 20 seater coaster bus similar to a Quantum taxi from Bloemfontein to Durban. The process of transfer was chsotic poorly organised by the drivers. The seats were not meant for long distance journey. Though we got to our destination earlier than expected.
