Intercape Mainliner Port Elizabeth Midrand recent customer reviews

The trip with Intercape to Midrand drom PE was horrific. The bus driver drove extremely fast on a wet road. One had to pray very hard. The toilet flooded the lower level making it difficult to walk and there were a number of kids on the bus. I will not recommend Intercape to anyone if this is the level of service they offer.
