Intercity Xpress User Reviews
Intercity Xpress receives praise for its comfortable and warm buses, with sufficient stops allowing passengers to stretch. However, some users noted delays in bus arrivals without communication and issues such as non-functional charging ports or heaters. Concerns were also raised about unfriendly staff interactions and occasional cleanliness problems on the buses.
I've been traveling alot,and this is my 1st time traveling with "intercity" I must say their service was excellent.The bus was very nice and clean,it has aircons,toilet was very nice and clean,you can also charge your phone while traveling. Another thing the bus arrived on time for departure and we arrived exacly the time it had on my ticket.we only had two stops for break.And the drivers were both very friendly and so helpful. I had a smooth and comfortable trip even the other passengers was super friendly.

I was happy the bus came on time for pick up at Benoni but driver was not really helpful about instructing passengers with luggage then at Heidelberg they move us from one bus to another it was chaotic no proper information that was giving us and I was traveling with older person who is 73 and she's using walking stick ,she was in pain with all unnecessary movement that was happening and second driver was giving us time for lunch and using toilet 15 minutes it was absurd

Charging ports, they're very far from us or from the 💺, u think maybe intercity can try to upgrade their buses with that because I damaged my Charging cable because of that. What I can say is this everything was oky but they need to upgrade their buses, there was no any cabbage bags or plastic around the seat and you could even put your stuff at the back of the seat because there is nothing that you can use for that unlike intercape. So they need to look for things like that just upgrade the 🚌
