Intercape Mainliner Grahamstown Mount Frere recent customer reviews

It was comfortable but what I didn’t like is where the driver arrived at 11am where he was supposed to arrive at7:45 am. I was not happy about that at all because I arrived at home late and I was struggling to get transport

The bus was 2 hours late, waited from 8 untill almost eleven midnight. During our travel it gave us the fright of our lives as it seems to be not having good brakes and in short we had a breakdown, even though it was fixed few minutes after mechanic arrived
