I booked the Intercape mainliner but I was brought in a big sky intercity liner which was absolutely uncomfortable. Please do not cheat passengers in this way 😡🫣

They gave us a bus that was written “Gauteng “ we were stopped by traffic officers who discovered that the bus had an expired license disk ,the bus kept making funny noises I’ll never use Eagle liner and wouldn’t recommend it because they don’t value their customers anymore
