Very poor.The bus left not just me only but the rest of us and claimed to have called but no calls were received.Luckily we got assistance from another Eagle-liner bus but due to not checking my ticket properly , I was left in the wrong destination and had to make plans to get my designated destination without any further assistance from Eagle-liner.
