Eagle Liner Johannesburg Richmond - NC recent customer reviews

Poor service. Was raining in , smelling bad , drivers were rude .unorganized. Luggage capacity was full peoples bags had to be between the seats , also getting wet . Seats were full and drivers gave spaces to people who didnt book. Ultimately the worst trip of my life.
