The coach was not in good condition, it was struggling to pull through on a steep road, very cold throughout the night. There was so many stops, we had to be changed to different buses in Park Station and the driver was very rude when we raised a complaint.
Customers express dissatisfaction with the service provided by Eagle Liner, mentioning it as a horrible experience. They state that they will never book with this company again and highlight unprofessionalism as a major issue.

Drivers were great. The luggage in the luggage compartment was soaking wet. Not sure if the toilet is flushing there or its the rain. A trip to midrand ended in parkstation as there was miscommunication with management and drivers about booking the bus for service immediately. Sat and waited at parkstation for another bus for almost an hour. Very dissatisfied with the overall experience.

The trip was split into 3 buses, the staff was professional in doing the switch however I would have preferred one bus all the way through. The first bus had working charger ports, the seats are okay, they recline to optimum comfort. The second bus didn't have working charger ports, the seats were comfortable but could not recline as much as those of the first bus, which made sleeping uncomfortable. The third bus was a basic bus and offered no luxury. Given the inconvenience and just above average comfort, I believe that the bus is overpriced.
Based on 3717 reviews, the company was rated 1.7 stars on Busbud. Travelers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the seats but often complained with the wifi. Delta Coaches ticket prices on this trip start at $22
