Intercape Budgetliner Mthatha Pretoria recent customer reviews
I enjoyed nothing, the trip is taking 24 hours instead of 19 hours. There were many delays, I have not arrived even!
The charging ports were not working and so were the lights. They need to look into that.
I liked the fact that the bus was not stopping in every station but straight line, it made our journey easier. I did not like the fact that we were feeling cold in the bus, during the night it was cold and air conditioners were on the whole night, I just caught up some fever and tried to explain to the driver but nothing changed.

Delta Coaches Mthatha Pretoria recent customer reviews
Very very bad I haven't even reached my destination even now it's we're now in Johannesburg park station and they don't want to transport us to Pretoria bosman station that we paid for
The staff is friendly and of great assistance. However, the state of the bus was quite unimpressive. There was no air-conditioning and the improvising of opening the emergency exit a bit for fresh air since the temperatures were extremely high wasn't attended to when the night started to avoid a cold front which we experienced
Horrible experience, bus had a Tyre puncture. We had to wait for hours for alternative transport. Very dissapointing indeed. Never again.

Intercity Xpress Mthatha Pretoria recent customer reviews
I was so disappointed, the journey was long and tiresome. No chargers in the coach for about 1000km it's so embarrassing. When selling tickets try to tell us this information it's very important for us as customers. Unfortunately when returning I won't use your bus because of this.
The arrival time displayed on the booking form was incorrect. N information about the bus route.
We were told that the bus will reach at 04:30 but to our suprise we arraive at 09:30. Instead of intercity we ride eagle liner and we were not told that intercity is no longer operating in Mthatha. Peoples luagages were stolen in Kokstad and the drivers couldnt care less. On monday im suppose to be at work and the bus is suppose to reach Mthatha at 7:00 and I just wonder we will reach on what time
