Intercape Mainliner Ladysmith Johannesburg recent customer reviews
It was great, but aircons can be a bit too much. The were delays too but we weren't informed I had to call the call center to find out where was the bus.
I love how patient, caring and chilled the bus drivers were with the passengers.
The bus was late I had to call to find out before they sent the message saying it was going to delay for 2 hours. Another bus came again telling us our bus broke down, they took some passengers I was supposed to go with they had their names written on a piece of paper with a pen they said my name was not there even when I showed them my ticket , that was after 2 and a half hours. I waited again for another hour for another one going my route he said the same thing about my name not being there . I had to call the office again because now it was 15h00 for the bus that was supposed to leave at 11h30.They told me that my bus had already left meaning I was supposed to be on the first bus that had names written with a pen .The second bus had left already but it had to return to pick me up at 15h20

The driver couldn't control the bus
It was a great experience! The bus is very comfortable and it is one of the best.
The bus was very late, an hour late. In Johannesburg it arrived 2 hours late, had transportation problems to continue with my trip from Johannesburg. The stuff is horrible, they did not even apologize nor do explain their reason of being late. Never again will I be buying a ticket if Citiline
