The bus was 2hrs late. We go stuck on the way. We left bloem at midnight while we were supposed to leave at 9pm. Got to cape town at around 6pm. It was verry slow! Very ridiculous!!!

The worst experience ever. Seat worn out and ons dude lower than the other. For 13 hours I was hanging to one side with my one side ont the lever that tilts the chair. I will walk from anywhere to anywhere but NEVER EVER again on Eagle Liner.
