The trip was delayed by more than an hour. What made matters worse is the place where one was waiting for the bus is not safe at all as one was exposed to criminal activities.

The drivers refused to let me on board because I wasn't on the list of passengers they had despite me having a valid ticket.

I’m very disappointed and never will I ever book any trip with eagleliner buses. My departure was supposed to be at 11:30 am and the bus was 3 hours late. No apologies or whatsoever, unprofessional.
