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❤️🎉

Started of well when we left Cape Town, however as the bus got fuller ismtvwas evident that the bus was overbooked with some passengers having to sit on the stairs. Also we encountered a very dangerous situation when the bus was stoned, subsequently having to wait at the police station resulting in a 2 and a half hour delay in getting to Park station.

The trip was comfortable except for the fact that we had to suddenly change buses in Heidelberg and then had to wait for other passengers in Willge who didn't arrive which then delayed our trip by 2 hours.
