The trip was very wonderful, we arrived earlier than expected. The drivers were very kind. I was a bit upset because the drivers were not told that they must drop us at Intercape Beach Office but they finally agreed to drop us
Many users appreciated the friendly and accommodating drivers, noting that buses were generally clean and comfortable. Eagle Liner was highlighted as budget-friendly with commendable service.

Am very disappointed the charging plugs were not working aircorn from the station to the destination some windows were open .no one knew how to close them . Cold air from aircorn caused me to have several asthma attacks in the bus. The toilet was very smelly

1. The bus was meant to leave Johannesburg at 19h45. We ended up leaving at 20h43. However, there were not delays arriving at the destination.
2. All charging ports that were promised were not operational. As a results I had to walk from durban station to the house since I could not make transport arrangements

The bus was comfortable and had advantage of charging ports and relaxing space for legs between the seats. 👌

I enjoy it although it stopped twice having mechanical issues. Unfortunately drivers were not interested to explain the problem to passages, but maybe it a rule

This bus was 1hour 30 minutes late and there was no communication. We were supposed ever to Durban at 5pm however we got to Durban at 8pm. I was almost left at Montrose and had to run behind the bus.The charging pod doesn’t work, most of us were complaining.

It’s 09:53 21 September and I’m still in the bus in Harrismith, had the bus gotten to Park station on time instead of an hour and a half late, we would’ve gotten ahead of the snow storm

Firstly I did not know that the bus does not get inside the park station like other buses. Had i have not asked about its parking i was gonna be left behind. It is not safe in the boomgate where it parks. We were sent sms's advising of the delay. It was a 9pm bus however it delayed to 10pm. We were transported by an SMT bus and not by an APMCW bus that we booked and there was no explanation for the changes. The trip was horrible. The bus had windows that did not close properly. It was extremely cold. There was dust all over and the driver was rude
