Intercity Xpress Bus Ticket Bookings

Breaking news: - the cross-border bus service to Zimbabwe restarted on 27 June 2025; twice a day from Cape Town to Harare.

The Intercity Xpress Bus is a privately owned South African coach company with routes in between the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. It is sometimes confused with Intercape buses or mistakenly thought to be a sister company, as Intercape market their "intercity" (no capital as it's an adjective) services. Intercity started 10 years ago when they acquired Luxliner coaches and started offering travel solutions at affordable prices. Their sister company is Eagle Liner and they work closely together; so do not be surprised if you book an Intercity Xpress bus but end up riding on an Eagle Liner bus.

Passenger safety

Intercity Xpress impose a speed limit of 100km/h for passengers safety (below SA's 120km/h speed limit on many stretches of national roads).

5% Intercity Xpress discount for "Francina"

When you buy a ticket of Intercity Xpress / Eagleliner on their website you may get 5% discount by writing the promo code "Francina" (worth a try)

    Coach type

    The chassis is the underlying platform (e.g., Volvo B7R) that provides the frame, suspension, wheels, and drivetrain (engine and transmission). Manufacturers like Marcopolo (G7) or Irizar (i6S) build their bus bodies on top of a chassis, customising the interior and exterior for specific uses like touring or intercity travel.
