I have to agree with Gillian Stacey (previous Metrobus-related letter).
This service – or let us call it what it is, a disservice – is definitely not a world-class bus service.
If it is , I would hate to see a third-world bus service.
My wife also uses the Metrobus daily from Witpoortjie, but we never know if it will be on time or arrive at all.
We purchase a pre-paid ticket, and when the bus does not arrive (or arrives too late) I have to take her to work by car.
This adds additional expenses to our monthly budget.
I cannot work, due to ill health, therefore she has to keep the home fires burning.
We are both in our mid-sixties.
As a result of the late arrival or non-arrival of the bus, she has received warning letters for constantly being late at work.
I am worried that this could result in her being fired.
This is totally unacceptable, Metrobus. A ‘world-class African city’?
My foot.
