Intercape Mainliner Port Elizabeth Pietermaritzburg recent customer reviews
Although the bus was late, the drivers drove well and the overall experience was pleasant.
Haydee B.
I am writing to express my concern about the hygiene conditions of the toilet on your bus. On my recent trip, I noticed a strong and unpleasant odor emanating from the toilet area from the first departure point. Unfortunately, this is the second time I have this experience. Please have necessary measures to ensure toilets are cleaned.
Thembela S.
The aircon was the perfect temperature. I did not like the fact that there is quite a distance between the intercape offices (in PE) and the pick up because I was carrying heavy luggage
