Our passengers We carried a total of 28.7 million passengers over the year, an increase of 4.37% over the previous year. We received a total of 2737 passenger complaints about our services. That equates to one complaint per 10485 passengers. We comply with our industry code of practice, and every complaint is investigated and action taken to avoid repetition of the problem.

We monitor our services for punctuality and 95.6% of our services operated within 5 minutes of their scheduled time, traffic congestion again being the main reason for delay. We continue to seek improvements both through rescheduling 99.72% services and in discussions with our local of all scheduled highway authorities. services operated.
