Cape Town - Golden Arrow has appealed to the public to come forward with information regarding arson attacks on its buses.
Andrea Davids, who was in the bus at the time of the incident, posted the following on Facebook: “Never have I ever experienced so much fear in my life”. “Now, at this point, everyone started panicking and running out, some through the windows. While I was still in the bus, it started burning by the driver side. I cannot describe the feeling I had at that moment. I am just thankful that everyone is safe and unharmed, including the driver,” she said.“We are on the ground 24/7, but the scale of these actions and the speed with which groups of people move or appear in new locations makes it very difficult.
“Golden Arrow recognises the right to peaceful protest, but the authorities must then put measures in place to ensure that people can still move freely and safely. Given the current economic climate people cannot afford to lose workdays or face reprimands because of threats levelled towards them or Golden Arrow,” she said.“The safety of our passengers and staff is of paramount importance to us. Public transport is an essential public service.
