Intercape Mainliner Welkom Durban recent customer reviews

The experience was a total no no. The bus was 5 hours late, we had to wait out in the street, unsafe and cold. And when the bus finally arrived, some seats were said to be wet because apparently there were some drippings from God-knows-where, I asked one of the drivers about, he totally flipped on me , straight up asking me what he's supposed to do about it. And not to mention the smell of urine from the toilet, I have had some okay experiences xwith this liner before, but this one was bad
