Letter from James Jansen van Vuuren

F E Jansen van Vuuren from Weltevreden Park writes:

On Thursday morning (16 October) at 8.45am, I turned east into J.G. Strijdom Road at the BP Garage. I was unlucky enough to get stuck behind a Putco bus. Between Cornelius Street and John Vorster Road, it stopped FOUR times, just anywhere, usually on a corner, dropping off passengers at their request. Just like a taxi. Surely buses have designated stops, and certainly not at intersections?

I was in the car by myself so was unable to take down the registration number nor the “How is my driving?” number. However, the time period I saw it in should tell Putco which bus was in that area at that time.
