Last month, passengers travelling from Cape Town en route to Mitchells Plain were left traumatised when two men boarded the bus and robbed passengers. Officials also offered a R50,000 reward for the successful arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators. At the time, the bus service said it would upgrade security by installing cameras, panic buttons and undercover security guards.
