I enjoyed the moderate temperature the drivers maintained and clear communication. However I am not gonna blame driver for late arrival as it was due to 3 passengers who were late from the 1st stop

The trip with Intercape to Midrand drom PE was horrific. The bus driver drove extremely fast on a wet road. One had to pray very hard. The toilet flooded the lower level making it difficult to walk and there were a number of kids on the bus. I will not recommend Intercape to anyone if this is the level of service they offer.
According to multiple reviews, the service was praised for being fast and punctual. However, some customers reported that the journey took longer than expected and experienced issues with bus drivers not stopping at their designated stops. Additionally, there were complaints about uncomfortable seating despite the cleanliness of the buses.

Worse experience ever. They told us the bus is cancelled on the time we suppose to depart and I don't even stay in the area I suppose to take the bus. Even to contact them it is like a mission - phoens go in voice mail constantly. It's just extremely poor, no professionalism at all when it comes to their work ethic only on me consultant lady of hope diamond was the one doing her job and making efforts the rest they don't even deserve a 1 star I don't see any reason for a 1 star here I actually give them 0 stars!!
