Intercape Mainliner Matola Johannesburg recent customer reviews

The driver for bus no 557 was extremely rude and excruciatingly uncouth. I simply asked for information on the things i needed to be aware of ,and how the declaration of goods was done at the boarder. However the driver could not answer me ,and was very rude. If he didn't know he could have simply responded that he did not know ,instead of making a show of me to other passengers with his uncouth manners. I was so disappointed that Intercape has workers with such an attitude
