The bus was supposed to leave Cape Town station 16:10. It is now 18:07 no sign of the bus or even communication. Which clearly shows that Delta management don’t care if the same situation keep on repeating. First and last time on this bus. I called the customer care line twice on 076 441 0202 and no answer. The other number is not even going through.

And when we finally stopped in Britstown, the driver stopped for more than 15 minutes. He did not open the doors so we could stretch our legs, or use the facilities at the garage. The sorry excuse for a toilet on the bus is something I always avoid. There is always something wrong with it. The driver was inconsiderate and did not communicate what was going on. It was beyond infuriating to sit there for more than 20minutes, and not knowing what is going on. The bus may have been clean, but the driver's incompetence alone made it a very bad experience.

It was my very first time using Eagle Liner coaches and I must admit that at first I was reluctant but the service, wow. The bus was on time at Cape Town station, it was so clean and everything in order. But I want to send a special message of gratitude to the drivers, more especially an old, tall and Tswana speaking driver. Oh the guy was so friendly, he literally took care of each passenger. He made sure that everyone was okay, he’d walk up and in down in the bus asking passengers if they’re ok. Bethuna that old man loves his job❤️ don’t know his name but the bus was travelling from Cape Town to Pretoria on the 25th of Nov 2024, 12:30pm. Give him his flowers pleaseeee
