The bus came 25 minutes early and I was standing by the bus station but the bus just drove past I ran after it with my luggage and they stopped a distance from it's aparking space. I asked the driver what is happening they said they forgot about me. They saidtheyvwere just going to drive past I was going to miss the bus. How can they miss a passenger who is by the bus stop with a valid ticket 25 minutes before time

I enjoyed nothing, it was dirty and no charging ports. The old man I was sitting next to was touching me inappropriate while I was sleeping. I was so uncomfortable from Kimberly until Johannesburg
