My seat really struggled to move back up again. Other than that it really was a pleasant trip.

Nothing really to complain about during this experience, however in the January trip earlier in the year, the problem that occurred was well managed by the call centre staff member 😀. So the general service which includes the call centre support staff is satisfactory.

Eagle Liner Bloemfontein Beaufort West recent customer reviews

Very disgusting. I felt like I was traveling by a truck, very cold for the whole trip. How do you allow a public transport without heating system. People traveling with blankets to prevent cold in the bus. How on earth did you manage to be in our public road?
