According to customer reviews, there are several complaints about the bus service being consistently late and even not arriving at all. Some customers have expressed frustration with the lack of communication regarding delays.
Firstly the bus arrives late 30 minutes and the pick up point was not nice.
The bus no 616 was boarded and it was full to capacity. However I booked a Mainliner and this was not. The toilets were filthy. The entire trip smelled disgusting. The passenger next to me was drinking alcohol. The seats were worn and uncomfortable. I had difficulty believing that this was the same Intercape I loved for so many years? This was my worst experience with your service.

I didn't enjoy anything because the bus never came!! After an hour of it been late i called to find out where is the bus!! To my surprise i was told the bus was the, guess what they transferred from big sky to intercape and they did not communicate that!!! I was arrogantly told I've forfeited my ticket. I'm still angry about the service i received overall. Very very very poor

Felt safe up until the assistant started a long conversation with the driver, which I think distracted the driver. I also saw a cockroach on the surface. Overall not a bad experience.
