Intercape remains a preferred means of travel for many, with users highlighting the comfortable seating and professional staff. However, there were isolated incidents involving altercations between passengers and employees as well as issues with luggage handling that some found unsatisfactory. Despite these concerns, overall experiences tend to be positive.
An altercation between a passenger and an Intercape employee on the bus was not acceptable. While the passenger was probably responsible Intercape employees should be trained to diffuse such incidents.

We were a group of 3 and we enjoyed our travel with intecape, it was very comfortable and the staff very professional. We however encountered unusual queue at the south african immigration side, which was unbearable.

O didn’t enjoyed the delay of the bus, personally I was going to see a doctor at 12.30 P.M, and my ticket showed that the arrival time at destination was 11.45a.m., but the bus arrived at 12.30 P.M, 45 minutes of delay. I approach to the crew members (drivers) and they was shouting at me. Very bad experience
