I disliked that intercape shifts times due to whatever or come late. It's really inconvenient. I do not like how they do not take hygiene seriously. In every stops especially the early departure busses, should let fresh air come into the bus.

Have been travelling with Intercape monthly for the past 5 months and I am generally very satisfied with their service. Once my bus was very late in Welkom but another bus came and the driver arranged for me to take that bus. I was very pleasantly surprised by the assistance.
