I enjoyed the old man. The driver. He's got a great sense of humour for all the passengers were laughing from his proper jokes. He is such a gem. He really made our experience wonderful 👍👍. His driving was perfect. He drives along normal required parameters and smoothly. Well done our driver. Arrived safely to our destination. Was even sleeping without fear in the bus . Very safe dude indeed..

I was very disappointed. Firstly the bus was dirty full of cockroaches, toilet was stinky the smell was bad, no charging pot in the bus, aircorn was not working and the bus was late. Intercity xpress don't respect their passengers at all

Enjoyed that I was able to charge my phone when it about to run flat, just didn’t enjoy the sound that kept beeping in the bus from Joburg to Pmb- it was very annoying in the ears. It was on & off but when it does come on yooh it was a pain in the ears
