Intercape Mainliner Richards Bay Durban recent customer reviews
I paid R430 for a bus ticket, on wed, thinking it was a Mainliner only to be told a day later that I will be transported by a Shuttle bus. To add insult to injury, I was told by one of the passengers that the ticket price was reduced to R195 on Thursday! The Shuttle bus should've been mentioned upfront!
