Intercape East London Smithfield recent customer reviews

My only complaint would be the "badgering" of bus passengers at every stop we made by these idiots(EL station stop x 3characters; queenstown x4characters;aliwal north x 4 etc) that climb on the bus trying to sell cell ph cables and power banks etc. They seem to be allowed to enter the bus at these stops and rush up and down the aisle trying to forcefully sell their wares and its very intimidating and disruptive and irritating and i feel they are also looking for opportunistic moments to steal items where possible. They should not be allowed entry onto the bus whatsoever.
