The bus driver who was the one driving us from Margate bus he was not Friendly at all he doesn't know how to speak with the passengers, he even threatened the leave behind one of the people I was with, further said he doesn't care whether we arrive late to our destination, and the was an elder person who was using a walking stick he drove off before he can even sit down, further said he leave the bus at Harrismith & drive with another bus of vehicle, his language was not appropriate to address us as customers he doesn't have respect at all. I bet that you going to loose customers due to the treatment we got from this driver

Overall 1.6 🌟 says it all. Driver was on time for pick up but we got to out destination an hour and 15 minutes late, no apologise conveyed to passengers. Two travellers had to chase the bus as the driver left them in Durban Station. Somehow they met us in Scottsville. A swapp of passengers in Durban station took place and this how the message was conveyed to passengers, "GUYS SOME OF YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS BUS" then the areas/destinations were mentioned and those passengers were TOLD to jump into another bus that was parked somewhere by a garage...legally acceptable, we will know. Now, my biggest ordeal....mistakenly I chose the incorrect time of departure. I sent an email to online department that assisted me with the purchase of my ticket but they referred me to Eagleliner whom I contacted and explained my human error and openly understanding the terms and conditions. Consultant still promised me to assist me and advised me that I will be able to get a seat in the afternoon bus which will departure at 21:00. I was advised of the service fee I will have to pay and the difference as the afternoon ticket costs more. Total amount to be paid immediately was R176, I immediately paid R170 and a response was provided stating that my payment is being verified... how exactly, I am still wondering. I was not advised of a R6 varience I did an immediate payment and sent the proof of payment as requested. This was concluded around 14:00 on the 29th in order for me to travel at 21:00 on the same day. To my suprise when I got to Park Station, THE BUS IS FULLY BOOKED AND MY TICKET WAS NOT ACTIONED. The pathetic, unacceptable and arrogant service I received from the consultant... I qoute *we can't do anything, you will have to re-book for tomorrow* Call centre with the similar attitude, I was asked to WhatsApp my issue to a call centre consultant that was on the phone with the consultant in front of me 🤔.
