This was a appalling experience. I paid over R600, for a budgetliner, that broke down and took forever to het sorted out. I arrived at my destination 3 hours after the stipulated arriving time. I’m very disheartened by the exprerience because arriving on time was crucial for me.

Intercity Xpress is appreciated for its punctuality and cleanliness, providing a fresh travel experience. However, some users noted concerns about safety due to multiple stops made because of driver fatigue without the presence of a relief driver.

Intercity Xpress Pretoria Estcourt recent customer reviews

The driver didn't stop at my drop off point and left me stranded at some random petrol station all alone hours away. I had to ask for help by myself, the driver didn't care. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable

I like the fact that we arrived on time.. I didn't like that we made 3 stops as our driver sighted fatigue.. I felt our safety was compromised as he did not have a 2nd (relief) driver.
