Trip from Joburg to Bloem without refreshments stop at Kroonstad instead bus stops once 20mins after leaving Joburg station. No passenger wants toilet or refreshments at that time because the bus just left Joburg station

Bus supposed to be yesterday at 1 but was delayed for 16:30,rescheduled for today at 1 and got again a message stating it is again delayed. Called and the consultant was very unprofessional and rude. She even switch the phone off which is a cell phoned after not an answering after she dropped the call. The landlines for Eagle Liner just rings no one answer. I will NEVER recommend Eagle Liner to anyone!!!

Kutlwano M.
Unfortunately, my journey with Delta Coaches was very disappointing. Their service was poor from the start the bus arrived late and there was no communication to inform passengers about the delay. The onboard toilets were not working, which made the trip uncomfortable. Even before boarding, the queue after purchasing a ticket was very disorganized and unpleasant.
On top of that, the staff seemed poorly trained and unprofessional, which made the entire experience frustrating. Overall, everything about the journey felt horrible, and I left very dissatisfied with the service.

I am very dissapointed as a first time traveler with Delta. The bus had a breakdown within an hour from departing and i catched a lift with APC to get to my destination on time since it is very dangerous to stand on the road in the middle of the night.
