Intercape Mainliner Johannesburg Gaborone recent customer reviews
The bus was almost one hour late in Joburg, we had to change to original 866 bus in Pretoria. When we had a bread, nobody told me about it, or its length. And finally the the car broke some kilometers before Gaborone Good thing was that there came a taxi to bring me to my destination. Which I had to pay.

The bus was late and then broke down outside Swartruggens. We were stranded for 3 hours waiting for a replacement bus. I was supposed to arrive at my new job at 19h00 - which of course I did not.
Jeaundre T.
The overall trip was okay, but too many stops along the way and no refreshments for passengers.
