I enjoyed everything besides the fact that I had to travel longer hours than should due to the bus having to take a long route but nevertheless I booked it knowing that it would take that long because it was also stated on booking schedule

Eagle Liner Midrand Welkom recent customer reviews

First if all. I do not understand why commuters should arrive 30 min before but then the bus arrived 30 to 45 min later, I was in a panic mode , phoning the office every minute. Then thereafter the bus stopped for at least 2 hr 20 min at Parkstation. I found extremely shameful and inconsiderate, rude and unprofessional. Please lets respect time

During my journey, the drive itself was uneventful, but the unpleasant odor emanating from the onboard toilet significantly impacted the overall comfort. The strong smell made it difficult for everyone on the bus to breathe comfortably

The service is very bad. We were told the bus is boiling and had to wait more like 30 minutes for another just after the Grasmere garage. And 10 minutes breaks were 20 minutes break and some of us were in a hurry.
