Intercape Mainliner Richards Bay Midrand recent customer reviews

I did not enjoy the fact that the driver did not inform us when we arrived at bus stops, thus having myself and other passengers miss our stops and having to get off at stops further from where we planned to get off.

The journey was uncomfortable. There was not enough leg room. The passenger in front reclined their seat too much. There should be a limit that they are allowed to recline
