I work in eastrand mall and rely on public transport. The mall had recently changed trading hours to 7pm meaning people are working until 7pm.
On Monday the 13/10/2020 I was at the taxi rank at 19:09 and found no taxi for Kempton Park, I live in town and all the other taxis aren’t even going my direction. There was a taxi for ramaphosa, daveyton, even kwa thema had. Tsakane , vosloorus, tembisa too! Hai guys I was left stranded looking for a person who could fetch me. Why are all the other taxis available for the commuter who are working and knocking off at 7 pm available. What must I do as I rely on public transport???
Two ladies atleast where available , I was relieved that I’m not the only one, only for them to decide it is better to go with a taxi going to tembisa than just standing. I unfortunately was unlucky as I said before I live in town.
If the mall is trading until such hours (7pm) commuters should know there’s transport available.
The picture below shows until what time I was still in eastrand mall calling to get fetched as it was unsafe to be on my phone waiting for nothing and having random men check on me.
