The bus was in a good condition but the driver was plain rude and disrespectful to passengers. At some point he was even getting lost.

Eagle liner left me behind , they left the station before the agreed time and at the office they said there's nothing they can do.

It was a good one. Your drivers have customer care. Keep it up. Please discount NGCOBO customers considering the fact that we have to take private transport to Umtata to get a bus(EAGLELINER) to Pretoria
