We got to our destination fairly easy. The double checking of passengers at different pick-up points is irritating. If the people are being checked as they enter why we are being checked again?

The bus was late, they had driver problems which were not communicated to us, the whole trip got delayed by 2hrs, which made most us arrive at our destinations when it was already dark, and public transport was already unavailable. It was the last time I'll ever use bus services, ever.

Intercity Xpress Durban Heidelberg - GP recent customer reviews

Front desk service was out of this world. The driver though was very rude, shouting at passengers and not even willing to help and assist elderly people. He was even rude to my father who was asking for assistance because he was not familiar with Gauteng. They were supposed to get off at Heidelberg but because of his rudeness and refusal to help they were dropped off at Park Station

Your boarding at Durban station is not organized, we left Durban at 21:35 instead of 21:00. No explanation of why the bus was delayed. My kid got restless because we stood there outside, people were pushing each other it was a chaos
