According to customer reviews, there is widespread dissatisfaction with the service provided by Intercape buses. Customers mention experiencing very bad service and rude bus drivers. They express disappointment in not receiving the value for their money and do not recommend using Intercape's services in the future. Additionally, one customer mentions being traumatized due to a constantly running fan on board.
The service was professional and satisfactory. However I feel if Intercape can re-introduce the allocation of seat numbers for passengers it can help as struggling for a seat can be frustrating when one's bus ticket lacks a seat number. Kindly consider this. Many thanks.
