The seats were clean, the bus in general was presentable. I was so comfortable that my 17hr trip felt less than that and they had chargers so I wasn't worried about my battery going flat

Eagleliner bus company connects South Africa’s largest cities and beach resorts. They are known for having the most affordable fares in the country, so if the price is your main concern, this might the bus company for you. Their buses are equipped with standard features, like reclining seats, air conditioning and bathrooms. You can travel with up to 25kg of luggage, which is more than enough for most travelers. If your travel plans change, you can reschedule your ticket by paying a 20% fee, up to 6 hours before travel time.
I was electronically transferred from Egle liner to InterCity Express yesterday without any prior notice to me.
My ticket indicated Egle liner as the carrier, so I was waiting for an egle line bus at the departure point. Unfortunately, I was unaware that my booking had been changed to InterCity, and as a result, I missed the bus. This situation is quite unfair, as I was not informed .
I kindly requested the service to assist me by allowing me to travel today instead, since the missed trip was due to the lack of communication regarding the transfer. But the denied they say my ticked expired already

The driver lost my luggage at Park Station when he stepped in the “shifting of my bag” from one bus to another and further not allowing me to view weather indeed he took my bags and cricket bat or not.
Currently they are nowhere to be found.
