Intercape Sleepliner Cape Town Pretoria recent customer reviews
Sleepliner is spacious to relax for long trips,however we were disappointed by dysfunctional cooling system,bus 236 please check it's air-conditioning...we had to open windows. Other than that,nice journey we had.
Another thing,seat numbering and making sure people follow, it causes delay too

It’s indeed dependable and safe. I truly enjoyed the smooth ride,I couldn’t even feel that it was a long one. We even arrived at the destination in time. Looking forward to my next ride on the 25th and many months to come. I was a bit worried I wouldn’t get enough time with my family in Cape Town on my offs, but with Intercape and it’s splendid service I am certain I’ll leave in time and arrive at my destination in time. Keep up the good work

Signals at a very high pitch, loud and continue for more than 15 seconds at a time. Not expectable for epilepsies! I broad my health conditions under attention of the driver. His answer was fasten your seatbelt. It did not solve the problem.

The entire service and trip was very nice. Bus was clean, time management was perfect until I had to reach my destination. I was going to Pretoria Bus Station and the drivers changed people to another bus and it was not communicated in time. I had to be dropped by Midrand and get stranded with public transport to Pretoria 😨
