Intercity Xpress Durban Butterworth recent customer reviews
I did not enjoy my experience with Intercity Xpress because I arrived two hours after I should have arrived. The seats were uncomfortable and left me feeling sore after the trip ended. There was a lack of communication throughout the journey and left me as a traveller unsure of what was happening due to the delays we were encountering.
The driver refused to drop me by the garage, which is not out of his way to East London coming out of Butterworth whereas the bus was late. He was even rude. I begged him but he told me of the bus cameras. Where is Ubuntu? Just to leave a female passenger stranded like that.
It was horrible the buss's battery died at 11pm we didn't recieve any help from the buss till I decided to hike in thriddle of the road to get to Butterworth for my 9am interview
Based on 710 reviews, the company was rated 3.7 stars on Busbud. Travelers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the staff but often complained with the wifi. Big Sky ticket prices on this trip start at $23.00
