Intercity Xpress User Reviews
Intercity Xpress has received mixed feedback from its passengers. Many users appreciate the comfortable interior and professional drivers, highlighting a generally pleasant travel experience. However, there are consistent reports of buses arriving late to their destinations and cleanliness issues with onboard facilities like bathrooms. Additionally, some travelers mentioned concerns about overbooking and safety at certain stops or stations.
The trip was so satisfying the driver was very friendly. We didn't stop at Montrose we had another stop which was 10 minutes from Montrose which was really wise cause Montrose can get really full at times. The bus was not full so I enjoyed having the whole row to myself. As a person who love sightseeing I can confidently say I prefer the Intercape Bus over flying or taking taxis. It was my second time with Intercape and I can't wait for my next trip❤️🎉

I didn't enjoy the driver missing a stop we were supposed to get off at (Hibberdene) and said they will put us on a bus from Port Shepstone that I going to Jorburg and left us there. The driver he said will pick us just said he is going to the airport, assuming that initial driver did not communicate with him. We were left stranded and had to hire people to fetch us from Port Shepstone.
