  • City manager, looks like you are bit out of your sense. how would you expect people with their belongings walk from one end to another. just imagine the distances that they will walk from one bus stop to another. usim het ya.

    Gordon bus stop is a centralised bus stop where all the routes should come and drop off and pick up. come on manager.

  • Well done, in order to stop petty crimes all is good for our women and school children were the most targeted. If you are lazy enough than you may oppose what the city manager has set other wise well done.
