Intercape User Reviews
Intercape receives praise for having comfortable buses and helpful drivers, ensuring a safe travel experience. However, several reviews mention issues with time management, such as late arrivals and frequent bus changes. Some passengers also noted discomfort due to cold temperatures on the bus and non-functional charging ports or Wi-Fi services.
The bus was on time. The driver was efficient and assisted with ticket issuing and luggage handling. The bus was clean and neat. However, we didn’t have the option of booking our preferred seats and ended up having to share seats with people that were traveling alone as we couldn’t find seats to seat together. The AC was acting up….very hot on embarkation and very cold in when we were trying to sleep at the early hours of the morning! The toilet was soiled and we couldn’t use it.

We travelled with BigSky instead of Intercape Budget liner. The BigSky had broken seats Infront of me, so whenever the front passenger leaned the seat was leaning back to my knees all the time. So he was forced not to lean at all. Imagine travelling for 8 hours with such discomfort! The seats were not comfortable, as a result my back was painful when I got to my destination. This was a disappointment for me because I travelled with Intercape Budget liner on the 16th of December and it was comfortable, hence I booked it again for my return. The only good thing about the trip was the fact that the bus didn't break down and we made it within the estimated time, otherwise...

Bus departure time supposed to be 00H10 but it ended up leaving at 01H55 (almost 2hrs late) imagine that long wait with no update outside. I ended up arriving at around 13h00 in Port Elizabeth. I don't think I will use the internal again, I will not even recommend it to anyone.

The bus was delayed with 2 hours and the charging ports was nor working. The service is getting terrible by the day
