I'm very dissatisfied with the service of Intercape...i was on my way to park station where my initial pick up point was.they sent me an sms late that i should go to midrand to get the bus there.from where i was staying , it's almost 2hours away. Why didn't they send the sms in the morning.when i eventually got to midrand ,past3 the bus had left and the guy at the office at engine bid bird made fun of it.never will i use intercape again
According to customer reviews, the service is not recommended due to issues with chargers not working and no toilet on the bus. However, some positive feedback mentions a smooth ride and comfortability. There were also complaints about significant delays of up to 4 hours.
A total mess as a result I’ll never ride with yr busses ever again…imagine as a passenger having to give incompetent drivers directions bcz they keep getting lost…Almost 3 hrs late…Y’all need to do better (And yr buses are COLD)

Had the best experience ever. Was sitted so comfortably. Travelled from Joburg to Middelburg, the bus made it to Middelburg before the ETA. My only problem was the toilet. Very unhygienic, but I put the blame on the passengers.
