Intercity Xpress East London Kokstad recent customer reviews
Why did you guys lie about the bus breakdown and gave us the lowest valued bus in the world after paying so much money. We delayed for 3 hours, that bus was dirty and stinking and there was no communication between us passangers and the driver. You guys need to do better and stop lying to us. I even took the pictures of the bus you lied about. I need you to refund me atleast half of what i payed because the standard of the bus you gave us deserves a R370

It was very bad 👎 😔. First, it arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes late. Second, when we finally boarded and reached Mthatha, we were taken to another bus that was less comfortable compared to the one I came with. I arrived at my destination at 19:20; I was supposed to arrive at 16:30 according to my booking. My meeting was at 5 PM, and I missed it.

Im unhappy person with the driver, he told my nieces to go out of bus & weigh their bag in the ofc so they can get a ticket no, they went inside the office to do as they are told, the heartless man left all 3 and they said since the bus left them they can't change tickets, we must buy another set😭 very disappointed with intercape and the way they treated those kids after I left them inside the bus. Had to go back & fetch them
