Intercity Xpress Johannesburg Scottburgh recent customer reviews
They are very disorganized. We had to change busses mulitiple time during the trip. It was chaotic and the drivers was visibly upset about about the situation which made passengers feel unsafe. The trip also took much longer as a result.

Intercity needs to learn to take people to their destination not to the depot. Waiting at the depot in Durban is in the early hours with arrogant drivers us not what we paid for. So intercity must respect us
Nobulali K.
The driver was very polite and professional. I asked that all the drivers at Intercity Express be expected to do the same. He announced all the destination stops and ensured the passengers received the information. Only hiccup was the PA system which was not tuned properly.
