The bus was too slowly and we arrived late than the time was stated when I was buying a ticket 🤷‍♂️😖 and I struggled to find a taxi to home since it was late.

I enjoyed the trip but they took too long to stop for restroom breaks since some of us are not comfortable using the bus to do our staff

Have used Intercity numerous times but this time was vot as it should be. We were at the 1st stop and the luggage compartment was so full already that it had to be unpacked so as to enable us to fit stuff in. There was still insufficient space so the driver opened a compartment and there was a man sleeping in the luggage compartment. Mattress and all! So all the luggage was eventually loaded. So the bus left a full hour late. Thereafter the bus lost more time. Instead of arriving at 6.40 as expected, it arrived at 10.16. Nearly 4 hours late. It also stopped in an alternate place which was safer but still, noone told us about the change in stop.

Users have expressed appreciation for the friendly and efficient staff, as well as the overall comfort and warmth of their trips. However, some reviews highlight concerns about limited legroom and closely positioned seats, which can be challenging for taller passengers. Despite these seating issues, timely arrivals were noted in several experiences.

Hi there I travel at night so that I can sleep. The seating is very uncomfortable and too little leg room for tall people. I enjoyed the friendly efficient staff.

The staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. People were sleeping over 2 seats and others had to stand. Staff just said they can't do anything about it. Will never use them again
