The bus I was in, that is Eagle liner had a very disgusting sound that wasn't good for our ears. We complained and the driver rudely said he can't switch it off cos it's checking the speed. So please do away with that sound. It's irritating 😏😏

I enjoyed sitting comfortably and I really love the fact that the bus has adjustable seats. What I didn't like about it is that when I got to my home town Newcastle the bus make a stop far from where we get taxis. Next time I wish the bus could stop at Newcastle Sasol garage or Shell garage

Horrible the bus was stuck for over 2 hours no one came to fix up until one passanger phoned the management. Poor communication to the passangers no drinks offered to apologise for inconvenience the bus should be a conveyance better than being in a taxi. very dissapointed
