The INTERSITY bus broke down in the middle of nowhere. Stranded for hours, we waited — uncertain, tired, and helpless — as time dragged on with no clear sign of rescue.

On the 1 September the bus was late for more than an hour as apologised for. At Belleville the bus spent unnecessary 45 to 50 minutes, waiting for pasangers from another bus that was supposed to go in for a service. The train problem about this is that the drivers did not communicate with us so that we know the reason for the delay. We had to confront him and threatened to go out of the bus and demanded management. After that chaos, he apologised and he drove to Cape Town station where we arrived at 10h05 instead of 08h10.

I had a horrible first experience with Eagle liner, as a result u will never ever use it or recommend it to anyone. It was 2 and half hours late, the driver didn't want to assist with my luggage, it was smelly, stuffy and extremely cold throughout the night. No heaters available. I was not happy with its condition at all.
