Intercape Mainliner Bethlehem Cape Town recent customer reviews
The bus was terribly late like 1H 45 minutes. Which led to some passengers helping themselves with alcohol because of that . No communication from the company regarding late coming and also the weather was against us and yet our bags were rained on and My grandkids are now sick
