Intercity Xpress receives praise for its friendly and patient drivers, as well as the spaciousness of their buses. However, several users have noted issues with punctuality and communication during trips. Concerns about overcrowding, lack of charging facilities, and unhygienic bus toilets were also mentioned by multiple reviewers. Despite these challenges, passengers appreciate arriving safely at their destinations.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ride in the Intercity XpressMusic bus. The bus was neat and tidy and the driver was friendly and very interactive with all the passengers. He provided excellent customer service. I used to doubt the bus but I think I will be using it more often now. It's right up there on the same level as Greyhound and Intercape, but more affordable which is excellent.

Bus was late. We left Zimbabwe Roadport at 18:00 instead of the mentioned 15:30. And we had booked Intercity but got an Eagleliner bus instead. Despite the best efforts by the bus to make the trip enjoyable and safe, thr professional approach by management leaves a lot to desired
