Very bad I will never book them again, the seat was uncomfortable I had to adjust the seat and put something on it to sit well. And the bus was full and I had to seat in the seat next to the engine drivers seats and oooh it was a very bad experience and it was my first time and the last.

Intercape Budgetliner Somerset West Port Elizabeth recent customer reviews
The bus was almost 2 hours late! And then stood for 15 minutes so it left 2 hours after the scheduled time. This is ridiculous and it is not a once off issue! Every Capetonian is aware of Cape town traffic except Intercape

I was very disappointed with the fact that at my departure time the bus never arrived at the garage in summerset.The ticket only stated summerset instead I had to make calls finding out which garage the bus will depart.I called intercape line and they told me the bus aweready left when I was at garage an hour before departure time.Intercape then told me I have to go to paarl or belville to catch the bus in time with I was not prepared for.I had to then pay extra money for my driver to take me all the way to belville to catch a different intercape bus.In future please be specific in stating wich garages ND places the bus will depart.
