Intercape Bus Route Locations & Safety Ratings

Departure: Livingstone

Address: Livingstone Inter-City Bus Terminus, Next to M10 Road

Safety Rating: 4/10

The location next to the M10 main road makes it relatively accessible for coaches and incoming local transport, but like any busy transit hub, petty crime (such as pickpocketing or opportunistic theft) can occur if you are not paying attention to your belongings

General Safety considerations

Please check the specific safety ratings for your departure and arrival stations above. Many bus stops have safety issues; it is better to arrive at bus stops while the sun is still shining (nighttime is always riskier), with weekdays generally 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 be wondering why the journeys 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. Speed kills.
