Greyhound
Dangerous driving with a cell phone on his ea

I travel regularly by bus on the plk-jhb route- at least once a month. I usually travel on Translux but decided to give greyhound a try (jhb - plk 30/12/2013) as it is deemed the more 'luxury' option. The hostess was polite and a pleasure. The driver however shouted & swore at other drivers-granted the other drivers were being destructive-but the bus driver should have displayed more patience. There was also an issue regarding him not receiving a slip for toll fees, so he made numerous phone calls, WHILE DRIVING, to enquire about this. I didn't appreciate this illegal practice. He spoke so loudly on these & other calls that I couldn't hear a word from the movie that was playing. We then drove on some narrow back roads to avoid the tolls. In Mokopane, instead of stopping at the Wimpy as usual, he stopped in the middle of the road opposite the wimpy, where a cop promptly gave him a talking to & possibly a ticket? Also, other bus lines give passengers a small snack pack. All I got was a terrible cup of coffee (tasted like the kettle was dirty) and one biscuit. I get a pack with crackers, biscuits, juice and a savoury/ sweet snack packet on Translux. Greyhound is supposed to be better?
