ABOUT INTERCAPE
THE INTERCAPE STORY.
Johan Ferreira Sr. was born in 1934. After 18 years as a schoolteacher in Namibia, he decided in 1971
to start a passenger bus company with one bus only, and called the business “Central Bus Service”.
Over a period of 5 years, the company expanded its business to 5 busses and also changed its name to
“Windhoek Bus Service”.
In 1979, Mr Ferreira started a second passenger bus company in Cape Town, South Africa and called it
“Intercape”. At first, the company operated a shuttle service between the Cape Town airport and the
City Centre only.
In 1986, Intercape applied for and obtained intercity permits for the transport of passengers between
Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. It was also in this year that Johann Ferreira Jr, joined his father at
Intercape.
In 2008, Johann Ferreira Jr bought 100% of the shares of Intercape from the Ferreira family trust and took
over the management of the company. Today, Johann, together with a handpicked team of highly
skilled and dedicated professionals make it their mission to provide a safe, dependable and affordable
road transport service to passengers throughout Southern Africa.
