Intercape Mainliner Kokstad Cape Town recent customer reviews
I enjoyed each and every moment of my journey, the only problem that i had was getting robbed by the bus driver named Luyanda i'm not gonna provide the number which i have,we were traveling with the kids and i was not aware that i was supposed to pay for the other one who is 2 years 10 months which i didn't have a problem with that. What's funny is that the driver took the money in our destination without giving us receipt and the kid didn't even have a sit she was sitting on my lap

The bus arrived two hours late and the toilet was a big smelly mess we had to sit in the whole 24 hours+, it was awful. The driver tried making a few stops, but we were already late either way, so there's really nothing that could've salvaged that situation.

the bus itself was everything comfortable, charging pots and fans. I boarded the bus at 10:30 the first time I was allowed to go buy something or get a bathroom was 17:48 that's too long. I know the bus has a toilet but I couldn't go in there it was blocked full and the smell I wouldn't last without making more mess of puking
