Intercity Xpress Germiston Mthatha recent customer reviews

The time now is 11:26 I am still in Mount Frere, I didn’t travel with the bus I booked for because we were told that the bus is full. We were given National Express that broke down within 30 minutes and we have to wait for another bus, then comes the old Eagle Liner bus and took us to Pietermarzburg. When we arrived the we had to wait an hour and 30 minutes for the bus to be filled with diesel. We had to wait because we were told that they didn’t make an order for diesel. I’m never booking Intercuty and Eagle liner ever again.
