The latest incident was condemned by the Western Cape Premier Alan Winde.
His spokesperson Regan Thaw says the driver was en route to the CBD long-distance rank where it was about to load passengers.
In August, Premier Winde wrote to President Cyril Ramaphosa to request an urgent meeting to coordinate intervention on a national level to combat extortion and racketeering in the public transport sector.
Thaw says thousands of people will be taking to the roads in the coming days and they deserve safe transport.
The Premier is expected to meet with Intercape management to offer support wherever they can.
Last month, Intercape told Algoa FM News that it intends to continue to operate a safe, reliable, and efficient inter-provincial bus service despite being embroiled in a legal matter with the Minister of Transport and the Eastern Cape Transport MEC.
CEO Johann Ferreira said the legal action did not mean that “Intercape services are not running at present and will not be running over the festive season.”
He said they are “taking every precaution to ensure the safety of our employees and customers which remains our number one priority at all times."
In September, the bus company sought relief from the Eastern Cape High Court in Makhanda to force the government to provide safety in dangerous areas of the province.
However, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula has opposed and appealed the court’s decision.
