Sleepliner Express Vanderbijlpark Cape Town recent customer reviews

I always liked sleepliner because it has more leg room and always clean and it has always been warm at night but this time around the heater was off and the driving was too fast and one couldn't sleep properly at night due to that.

We where not satisfied about the treatment when we're in need of a toilet it was dirty. We travelled for more than 4 hours without a stop. It was really unfair for us.

The bus from eagle liner was almost 2 hours late at the pick up, and has been broken down for more than 2 hours it still has not arrived. Eagle liner is the worst bus service ever and needs to be shut down.

Leg room space isn’t enough. Needs a better air conditioning system, as people stink on the bus

I had one of the most horrible experience with Greyhound, this has never happened before. It was very cold in the bus and the window could not be closed properly which led to more coldness. There was no AC and it stank in there because of the dirty toilet! I’m very disappointed
