Intercape Budgetliner Welkom Mthatha recent customer reviews
Everything was nice but the bus didn't came in time at the station at welkom the time was supposed to pick me up
I appreciated the fact that we were notified about delays but didnt enjoy that from welkom i had to first go to maritzburg and getting to mthatha very late and delaying the main reason i was going home for.
I'm very disappointed with the service of intercape of late, the bus arrived late and the driver didn't have the list with him for passengers and I didn't like the way he treated people who booked online. The route that the bus took was very long I really don't know how that can be fixed but please look into it🙏

Eagle Liner Welkom Mthatha recent customer reviews
Drivers were so rude and professional
Was a disastrous, bus was late by 4 hours
Firstly the bus was neat,comfortable and warm. Secondly the drivers were very sweet and kind. The only thing that I didn't enjoy is that I almost missed my trip because the bus that was suppose to fetch me didn't come itself instead I was fetched by a bus from Jo'burg to Cape town so the drivers didn't want to take us saying they aren't going to Mthatha until I called the office.
