Super-late pickup. Actually... I got lucky. I was not on their list (even though the bus was almost five hours late, with no explanation). The driver had just stopped for a bathroom break. After checking my confirmation, he took me, but that was by luck because he was not supposed to stop there. Had he not been pressed to take a bathroom break, I would've just seen the bus driving by without picking me up.

Eagle Liner Aliwal North Pretoria recent customer reviews
My first trip with Eagle Liner exceeded my expectation. For example, the bus arrived exactly at 20:15 on 27 September 2024 in Maletswai aka Aliwal North and I arrived in Pretoria exactly at 5:00. The driver, I wish I knew his name, made my “journey by bus” enjoyable by, among other things, allowing passengers to stretch their legs.

The bus was 45 minutes late but that was not surprising for "on the way" stops. The door broke when they arrived but they fixed it before we left. After all that the journey was good one and I got to my destination in time.

The coach drivers are really not courteous to passengers - The bus was extremely late to arrive in Aliwal North and there was no explanation, nor courteous messages sent out; The bus was full with drivers having no knowledge of the passengers to expect; at Park station, they were utterly rude to the on-boarding passengers to PTA and Midrand - The bus was full and the onbaording passengers were shoyted at to get out of the bus without being given any explanation - is there any other coach to board to PTA? When can it be expected to arrive? etc.

Intercity Xpress Aliwal North Pretoria recent customer reviews
The journey was pleasant, skillful and safe driving. The bus itself was comfortable. My only worry is that it arrived later than scheduled in Aliwal North and went all the way to Germiston, which was not specified on the route and eventually arrived in Pretoria much later than scheduled.
