Starting from your call center staff is rude, coming to the company disrespect of late bus departure about 2hours with no explanation, lastly your chairs are uncomfortable
Customers have shared positive experiences with Eagle Liner, highlighting the accommodating and friendly nature of the drivers. The buses are noted to be warm and comfortable, providing a pleasant journey overall. However, some users mentioned that certain buses lacked charging ports or toilets, but these issues did not significantly impact their satisfaction with the service.
Heater was working, charging ports were also working, but that was after we were moved from an old bus with no heater and charging ports that were not working, into a new bus in Queenstown.
