Bus operators should emulate Wada Chovu

Dear Editor, 

After concluding my business in Lusaka, I boarded one of the buses at Inter-City bus terminus on 31st July, 2017. This bus belongs to one of the operators on the Copperbelt and it was going to Kasumbalesa via, Ndola, Kitwe and Chililabombwe.

To say the least, I was shocked and disappointed with the disorganised crew of the bus. The conductor and call boys were drunk and smelling beer while shouting.

The bus was full but they kept on selling tickets. When the time to start off came, there was no prayer but confusion as the driver was busy exchanging insults with the call boys who were demanding for their “cut.”

As a concerned passenger, I tried to call the numbers on the tickets to complain only to be told that the gentleman whose number was used was no longer with that company.

I would like to urge bus operators to emulate Wada Chovu Bus Services of Luanshya whose crew has respect for passengers and always start with a prayer and the programme of the journey. Passengers deserve respect.

Timothy Kambilima,

Luanshya.
