Intercape Mainliner George Cape Town recent customer reviews
Very pleasant staff, pleasant journey. Travellers however... could really have kept their litter to themselves, instead of simply throwing it all on the floor and seats.

We loved the experience of traveling with fellow South Africans all colour's the comraderie was great.
We took the bus in George and it was a hour late. We got to the first stop In Mossel Bay and they waited an hour and 20min for a passenger.
The door of the bus would not open. Had to get someone to fix.
Arrived in Capetown 2.5 hours late.

The drive was smooth and we got there safely. However, the bus was so poorly managed. Filthy rows and seats covered in garbage. The minute we stepped onto the bus it was hot, humid, and smelled awful. There are no windows and I guess the aircon was not working properly??? Then, if we weren't already close enough to gagging, someone changed their baby's diaper on the seat behind us, even though we had been stopped at a petrol station for more than 20 minutes... Worst bus experience of my life. Intercape has gone to sh...

The bus was late by 2hours. And they didn't send any notifications about it. Instead I had to go through a very hard search for their whatsapp number so they can tell me where the bus is via booking number. Overall experience very bad. Almost got late for my flight because of delays in the bus.

Eagle Liner George Cape Town recent customer reviews
The bus driver's attitudes were just amazing. I felt safe and welcomed. I usually use Eagle Liner and I have met these bus drivers before. Really amazing, kind, decent and helpful people. The heat was the biggest problem, it was unbearably hot. They should maintain a standard temperature.
The bus was more than 2 hours late.
