The fact that in one small town it had 4 pick-up stations. That is time wasting. We spend more than two hours in the same area just to collect people instead of making a one stop station like all the other places.

Eagle Liner has received positive feedback for its friendly staff, comfortable buses, and punctual service. Passengers appreciated the smooth journeys and considerate stops every two hours. However, some reviews mentioned issues such as delays in departure times and occasional bus substitutions without prior communication.

The bus was punctual, friendly drivers and we appreciated that the driver stops every 2 hours as they didn't have inside toilets but they still made it in time as per the estimated arrival time. The bus was very warm and lights were switched off at night to allow passengers to rest. Keep up on the service and improve where it's necessary.

Very terrible service. Booked a bus for 16.30 since I was gonna go to work the next morning when I arrive at my destination. The bus arrived 3 hours later so we ended up leaving Johannesburg at 19.00 and throughout the whole waiting period none of the staff members updated us about what was going on to cause such a delay

The bus had no heater in this cold weather the entire trip. It was 2 hours late & it was so unclean. At some point the bus driver stopped for us to pee on the freeway, refusing to make a stop at a garage.

the driver was speeding through the rain, drivers are very negligent while carrying people's lives. The number of accidents on the road can be reduced if only drivers could care more about passengers .

My air conditioner was open and I could not close it. My seat in particular felt like a furnace because of it. Moreover, the bus kept stopping to do repairs every 20 mins or so for most of the trip. Something I’ve never seen anywhere. I’m not using Grey Hound again
