According to customer reviews, there are mixed opinions about Eagle Liner. Some customers mention that the journey to Eastern Cape (Butterworth) was smooth and nice for their first time traveling with the company. However, other customers express dissatisfaction with multiple long stops of over 30 minutes each and a lack of customer service. Additionally, one review mentions significant delays and inconvenience due to miscommunication from bus drivers and an unexpected roadblock incident in Comfimvaba.
Nonsense this one. Firstly, I was supposed leave Johannesburg at 18:30. Instead, we were taken to their bus depo. There was no communication whatsoever from the bus drivers and we ended up leaving Johannesburg at 23:17. As if that was enough, we were stopped at a roadblock in Comfimvaba and one of the drivers was arrested. Imagine having an additional 8 hours of inconvenience and delay. It my first and last time using this bus. I will never again
