The reviews highlight a generally positive experience with punctuality and friendly service being appreciated by travelers. Passengers also noted that drivers showed care for their well-being, contributing to memorable journeys. However, some discomfort was reported due to non-functional charging points and cold temperatures during the night on the bus.
Some of the charging points did not work,ppl only think about themselves as if the next person didn't also pay for their tickets by reclining their seats all the way back against my knees it was a uncomfortable ride for 15 hours

In all other areas, as per above survey Intercape delivered to standard, however the fact that the AC unit on the upper level where I was seated was not working made the experience one I would not like to repeat and will be traveling only Greyhound from now on forward.
Users have shared that the service provided was excellent, with positive remarks about its affordability. However, a minor inconvenience mentioned was the lack of a flushing toilet on board. Overall, travelers appreciated the value for money and were satisfied with their experience despite this small issue.
Well the bus came a bit late which was not worrying but on our journey we had a very warm, comfortable and 15 min breakes on certain town, let me rather say the whole journey was enjoyable and ontime on our arrival.
