Still our public transport us decades behind. Never sure of when a bus will arrive or if it will ever arrive. And no/useless shelters for passengers waiting for the bus. Somedays buses take around 1.5hrs!!!

Neither do they give the change, nor do they issue any tickets. But there is a poster in the bus stating that passengers travelling without tickets could be prosecuted.
