Safety considerations
Many bus stops have safety issues; it is better to arrive at bus stops while the sun is still shining (nighttime is riskier), with weekdays being safer than weekends. Do not display valuables, keep them safe and out of sight. Plan in advance how you will get from your final Intercape bus stop to your destination so as to minimise time at the bus stop.
Why so slow?
You may wonder why the journey times take so long. Part of the reason is that Intercape have a self-imposed speed limit of 95km/h on national roads and 40km/h on mountain passes - this is for safety reasons.
