Eagle Liner Midrand Butterworth recent customer reviews

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
