Going somewhere cross-country? Forget the airport – Intercape has a very appealing alternative.
Intercape, Southern Africa’s largest privately owned Coach Company is proud to introduce its next generation Sleepliner coach – nicknamed the “G7”. Designed and developed in conjunction with chassis designer Volvo and body constructor Marcopolo, Intercape invested great time and effort in building the new super luxury coach up to the high specifications it has come to be known for.
“We are proud of what we have achieved with the G7,” says Johann Ferreira, CEO of Intercape. “It represents a major step forward for us, at a time when South Africa is in desperate need of safer, more dependable and affordable public transportation.” The G7 coach currently operates on all our major inter-city routes throughout South Africa, and will soon be introduced in Namibia.
The 60 seater, G7 boasts great passenger comfort, with one of the unique features being Intercape’s unique 150° reclining seats with extra legroom, extended leg rests and cutting-edge features with a “future finish”. In addition to this the seats are memory foam based ensuring a peaceful journey for the customer.
The interior of the G7 is equipped with broader doors, newly-designed stairs as well as LED lighting which uses movement sensors to turn the lights on and off automatically – all of which contributes to the ease of embarking and disembarking from the coach. Intercape is proud of the fact that the G7 is the first luxury double-deck coach that is wheelchair friendly. This uniquely exclusive feature, which also includes a specifically designed wheel chair, ensures that disabled passengers can now easily have access to the coach anytime, anywhere – a first for luxury intercity coach travel in South Africa. The G7 also has attractive new lighting features as well as new air-conditioning inputs, while the innovative sky window for passengers promises a full view of the sky throughout the journey. A spacious and comfortable toilet facility is also provided.
Exterior features include stylish design lines, and new head and tail lights with LED clusters for lights and clearance. In addition, big new curved windscreens offer front passengers and the driver a broader and clearer view of the road, allowing a safer and more scenic journey.
The G7 and the rest of Intercape’s fleet of more than 130 coaches are supported by seven technical Intercape depots in Southern Africa. The Pretoria, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth depots are equipped with roadworthiness testing stations to ensure that all coaches comply with or exceed required safety standards.
In conclusion, Intercape today has a total of seventy two regular daily departures services well over a million passengers per year over a distance of almost twenty six million kilometres. The Group and all its stakeholders are focussed on providing safe, dependable and affordable intercity travel to the market it operates in.
