I didn't enjoy anything. I booked a tickets for a bus that was supposed to depart at 5:25, the bus didn't arrive until 8.30am where we were squeezed into another bus which was going to different places. We even arrived late where we were going, the bus was dirty and it was something totally different from what was described when I booked the ticket.
The service is bad . They do not communicate with people we were supposed to depart at 23:00 but we left at 02:32. I don’t recommend it to anyone.
The bus service is really bad . The driv was rude , the bus was dirty and the seat are too close for comfort , the rude was very uncomfortable and I wouldn't recommend any one to use eagle liner

Delayed and came two hrs after scheduled delayed time

The trip was safe. Driver was doing good. Bus needs a little bit of maintainance. Most Charging stations not working properly.

The worst experience I’ve ever had, the bus was 2hours late. There is no order, Vilamora bus literally inconveniences people and should no longer be in service to the public.
What experience? I didn’t even get to ride in that bus. It didn’t come. I am so disappointed. Rating it a horrible experience would be an understatement.
The bus was 3 hours later and we had no seats , we had to stand from Bloemfontein and we got stuck at Vaal we’ve been waiting for 2 hours
