Intercape Mainliner Malelane Pretoria recent customer reviews

There was nothing to enjoy, got on the bus at Malelane and it didn’t stop for a single break until Pretoria.. a good 7 hours without stretching our legs or getting something to eat. There were babies in there that needed to be changed etc.
