Bus got a breakdown 20kms after Cardozo from midnight until 8am. We got transferred into a Blunden bus. I got off Worcester to use the bathroom. I wasn’t even three minutes and when I got out the bus had left. Had to take a taxi to Bellville just to make sure I got my belongings. I’m never taking the bus again.
