The toilet had a dissatisfying smell and smelt almost half the bus. The bus kept stopping at random places and the overall trip was delayed by 2 hours. I was very dissatisfied with this experience.

The gate was late, it arrived at 10h45 and it wasnt intercape as booked, then it broke down while at the station and we left only at 11h45. Then the bus broke down again in Volkrust for 2 hours and delayed us heavily. Arrived at 1am - it is not safe for SAn women to be stuck in Midrand at 1 in the morning. Intercape needs to do better, we paid in full for this trip and would like to know what compensation is being offered for this major inconvenience

I only loved that charging spots were available and working and there was a fan when we needed it most. The toilet was smelling all the way and the bus was dirty, and stuffy.
Users have reported that the ride was smooth and satisfactory overall. However, there were some concerns regarding a lack of timely communication about schedule changes at the bus station and an unpleasant odor during the journey.

The bus was an hour late and no one informed us. I am grateful to that driver who came to fetch us and took us to durban station to catch a bus and the gentleman man assisted us in showing us where to go so that we can catch a bus.
