Good driving and the bus was clean, but it was very smelly. Air fresheners maybe can help. Charging ports on my seat were not working

I didn’t enjoy the trip at all. Firstly the bus came late to pick us up. Secondly the bus kept on stopping on the side of the road for about 15 to 20 minutes without the driver explaining the reason to us. Thirdly the bus broke down just before mooi river plaza. We got delayed further more. Fourthly the bus that was the replacement had a very bad smell coming from the toilet. Just imagine sitting in the bus with a very bad smell for two hours. A real bad experience I had I must say. I was very disappointed with intercape. Very very disappointed.
Users have expressed satisfaction with their journey, enjoying the overall experience. However, it was noted that the trip took longer than anticipated due to an extended stop at Parkstation. Despite this delay, travelers appreciated the service provided during their travels.

The bus that take us from Midrand was excellent 👌. But the problem started when they take us to another bus saying to make things easier for them because they will go straight to their destination .we ended stranded in because the bus was broken on the road and other drivers were not willing to take us to Pinetown .was so disappointed 😞

My experience with Intercity Xpress wasn’t the best of trips, the bus we travelled in from Pretoria to Pinetown didn’t have a working aircon system. The bus was extremely hot, (45 mins in the trip) and apparently the bus had overheating issues. Making the trip even longer… driver had to drive slower than normal so we could make it to our destination.
