Intercape User Reviews
Intercape has received praise for its punctuality and the professionalism of its drivers, ensuring a safe travel experience. However, several users have noted issues such as limited legroom, uncomfortable seating due to temperature control problems with air conditioning or heating, and cleanliness concerns in some buses.
Service delivery was exceptional out of the bus industry, communication update about delay, depot was welcoming everything communicated in details, bus arrived according to communication, driver drove with care and safe. Also thank the driver who was driving 831 on the 24/02/2026 from Cape Town to Durban via Port Elizabeth that guy drove with caution and high alert. Between Ndabakazi & Dutywa We nearly got to an accident but because they guy was using appropriate speed and adhering to road rules & signs He manage to quickly respond to that situation saving lives of 50+ people. We need to recognise such behaviours from drivers who don’t drive reckless. He is the best of the best. On myside I don’t mind to be late than to lose my life I got lives to take care of that driver it was like He knew that I am riding with that bus and like We had a chat that “We want to reach home alive and safe.”

Both drivers were some of the best I drove with before and I am truelly grateful for that. But unfortunately the first driver talked a lot aswell as 2 passengers. Not normal talking. Almost shouting , hard but non-stop for hours. Day and night...and we were on bus 21hours. And we were 3 night duty nurses on bus, couple of students with exams finish that was exhausted, grandma with small kids, so for me it was disrespectful. On other busses drivers tell us to respect each other and listening to our phones with earphones, headphones or whatever. This times phones was on everywhere all the time.. And it's was not respectful

This was the budget liner and it was horrible took the bus at 15:30 at marine cape station tell me why I am still seated in the bus headed to uMthatha. InterCape lacks time management and people’s skills let alone professionalism that’s put the window. Do better respect people’s time
