Intercape Mainliner Richards Bay Harrismith recent customer reviews
I did not appreciate that the bus was scheduled to leave 16:00pm but the bus did not arrive on said time but arrived around at 17:45pm. We did not even receive communication from Intercape nor did the bus driver's care to explain the reason for the delay when they arrived.
