Bus fare prices

Hi, my name is Peter Jantjies and I make use if Gabs to take me to work and back home. I reside in Bishop Lavis and when I travel by bus I get the Bontheuwel to Tygerberg Stn bus in the mornings and vice versa in the afternoon. My gripe is that I pay R17,50 per ride costing me R35,00 per day to travel to work and back. I decided to get me a Gold card as I thought that this would be cheaper but to my surprise when I loaded my ticket I had to pay R204,00. Now this works out to being R29,00 more than if I had to pay my fare on a daily basis and when I queried this I was told that they don't have a service for Bishop Lavis to Tygerberg Stn. I can't understand this as the bus is full in the mornings as well as in the afternoon, so why can't GABS arrange a service fee for Bishop Lavis to Tygerberg Stn as a lot of PEP factory workers also make use if this service.

I think this is absolutely unfair towards us workers that stays in Bishop Lavis to be charged the fee of R204,00 and also GABS are misinforming their passengers about the Gold card being g a cheaper option.

I sincerely hope that they will do a survey to find out about the amount of people making use of this service in the Bishop Lavis area and then charge us accordingly.
