Intercity Xpress Johannesburg Scottburgh recent customer reviews
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.
Josephine P.
The bus was late. The bus was extremely speeding. The toilet couldn’t shut so left us in a smelly state at the back area
