Intercape Mainliner Durban Midrand recent customer reviews

The bus was comfortable. We left half an hour late and arrived hour and half late. Only suggestion I have is that there should be a stop where passengers are allowed to use the restroom and buy food like Montrose. Our bus stopped to drop off or pick up passengers but we didn't get a chance to buy food or use the restrooms

I had a great trip. Aircons were kept at bay and I was worried that they may switch it on at cold temperature, but it was fairly warm.

I was not impressed by the fact that we had to wait for a second bus because the initial one was full. After we got to the 2nd bus we stopped in PMB and myself and others were asked to exit the bus and take another. It was extremely cold and late in the night.
