It was the worst inconvenience I ever experienced, the bus arrived an hour later than the expected time and it got broken on the way, I missed a flight at King shaka, I had add money for the next flight. I will never ever use intercape in my life and I will share my experience with friends colleagues and family so that they never risk using this bus again

The coach can be booked online which is good for convenience. But the temperature was not controlled, such that the coach was stuffy and hot inside, with high risk of contracting communicable airbone diseases. The coach disregards time as it arrives over 40 minutes late and no regards to even notify and redress with patrons.
