The experience keep on getting worse, what made it worse this time is that the whole of South Africa was having an extremely bad cold front yet they let us travel on a bus that had no HEATHER!!!! Then the driver decided on his own that he will delay because we will get early to Pretoria mind you that person had to drop passengers via Vereeniging, Lernasia before we get to Pretoria, IN A COLD BUS!!! That was my last time traveling with any INTERCITY bus, Eagle Liner is worse with their uncomfortable seats! We took am n early bus for a reason, if we wanted to get to Pretoria late we were gonna take the 22:00 bus! You've lost yet another passenger because of your bad service!

Seat behind me ... Where do I even beggin yhooo kuningi yaz. Firstly the driver and his assistant were not friendly. Two scary looking guys. Entering the bus it reeked urine My Lord! The seats were dirty. Seat behind me wasnt even working. It fell maybe donkey years ago. The plug 🔌 ports were not working. Luckily I charged my phone to max and put it on airplane mode to preserve my battery for pick up in pretoria. The bus was scheduled to arrive 8n pretoria at 5:15am and I arranged my transport to pick me up at that time. The driver sped with us as if he was carrying potatoes we ended up arriving at 3:30am stranded at the bus station as our pick up wasnt there. Nonetheless we were happy we arrived alive. What a horrible bus 😭😭😭. I regret not taking my intercape yhoo. Even when we arrived in pretoria driver was just moody as if we owed him something. He was the moodiest human being I've ever seen worse a man. Sies you dont derseve even half a star!

Bus arrived on time looking nice from outside , unfortunately NO. Aircon ,charging points not working, bus untidy looked like a dumped vehicle , worst thing and dangerous for passengers was the steering wheel it was like something the kids can play with in the yard, flooring and everything inside looked like we asked for a lift or we were taken to prison . We went to the depot to change for one that have charging points and aircon but still the same inside .I'm so disappointed cause it was my 1st time travelling with Intercity to Durban, note that the bus for Friday was neat and tidy and the floors covered and you could relax your feet . Worst bus service i ever travelled with cause maintenance and even the sound it made was not a one could relax and say that you are safe. Not sure i will use one of your buses as long as you treat your customers as animals, thanks for me

Bus has been in one place for more than 6 hours with no improvement or any proper updates. This is inhumane and unacceptable.

The experience was disappointing—the bus had a terrible odor, was unclean, and the air-conditioning system didn’t work. It’s unfortunate because this bus used to be one of the best.
