Intercape Mainliner Port Elizabeth Aliwal North recent customer reviews

I was very disappointed with Intercape.The bus was suppose to arrive at 13:00 but it arrived 15:00 .It was 2 hours late. If we wanted to depart late ,we would have booked a bus that leaves later in the day.There is a reason why we chose the 13:00 bus

I was not satisfied at all.1. The bus was an hour late and it never managed to catch up with time, hence I arrived late for my transport. 2. My bag was wet, when I got home some of my clothes were wet also.

It was Fine, but we waited for so long and ended up arriving late with almost 3 hours, I struggled finding taxi to Sterkpruit now because it's late already. I will be sleeping on the shell garage chairs until the morning.
