Intercity Xpress receives praise for maintaining clean buses, which many passengers appreciate. However, several reviews mention issues with delays and non-functional charging ports. Some travelers noted discomfort due to inadequate air conditioning and small seats on certain routes. Despite these concerns, drivers are often commended for their excellent service during trips.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ride in the Intercity XpressMusic bus. The bus was neat and tidy and the driver was friendly and very interactive with all the passengers. He provided excellent customer service. I used to doubt the bus but I think I will be using it more often now. It's right up there on the same level as Greyhound and Intercape, but more affordable which is excellent.

They're busses are always clean so that's a bonus, however the drivers speed ALOT and they're forever on their cellphones, disregarding the 3 cameras pointed directly at the drivers, I just don't get it. It's as if the company allows, or even worse, promotes it! The seats in this particular bus were quiet tiny, despite the ticket clearly stating it was meant to be a deluxe/luxury coach, but I would still travel with them.
