Intercape Mainliner Express Cape Town Pietermaritzburg recent customer reviews
I enjoyed the 15min we were given as passengers to every pitstop so that we can stretch our legs or buy refreshments. What I didn't enjoy on my return trip was the delay caused when the bus we were in had to be changed because of faulty air-conditioning, something that should have been checked before the bus left the depot. The whole process wasted a lot of time resulting in the bus reaching Pietermaritzburg, where I was supposed to alight, about an hour & a half later.

I enjoyed bur hate the fact that the toilet smells so bad because people use it for other things whereas they should pee only so couldn’t stand the smell and I was suffocating real bad.
