Eagle Liner King William’s Town Port Elizabeth recent customer reviews

I would recommend this bus service as I realise that the fact that they were late were due to external factors beyond the drivers' control. Very skilled drivers given their resources, since the bus needs an airconditioning refill & bus didn't appear to be really mechanically sound
