I do not have a problem with the bus drivers reaching my bag but not in public at 40 Junction people seeing all mu underwear's that was very very inappropriate. That was supposed to be done in mthatha. The seat am sitting at, does not have charging points, the smell of the urine is unbearably. The Urine in the toilet is all over I wish there was a place to take pictures. What annoys me the most is the sit in front of me the person sitting there when she sleeps the sit comes to me.

Bus smell of urine, they shoukd constantly disenfact it. Left my bag on board and had the most horrible reception from their clerk Joy when I went to report it. The bus was still enroute to the depo so the bag was definitely still on board. She made MD wait for 2 hours to be told that it wasn't found. The bus I was on was 726. The staff are dishonest so do not leave anything behind.
