I once again write to advise that as a commuter of the bus service from Brackenhurst/Brackendowns to Johannesburg/Braamfontein/Sandton/Randburg I am disgusted that this kind of service can be offered to the public and I am sure it is in contravention of public safety.
Today our bus was infested with spiders.
The last three weeks with all the rain we have had the bus has been wet inside, dripping from the roof, seats could not be sat on they were wet.
I wrote to a spider site on Facebook to ask what spiders they suspect these spiders are and they look like they could be brown button or false house button spiders.
And there are more to hatch. If these spiders are the brown button spider they produce a neurotoxic venom that can affect the nervous system. Even though this is a milder form of the black button spider why should we have to share public transport with spiders?
