“It’s no longer a hassle, it’s detrimental to everything. Because we can’t keep track of time, we should have now, in one hour we’ve got two or three customers, now just one is still not right,” Abdurahman said.
“Many have been cancelled, there have been too many cancellations, let alone our customers who have driven themselves too, the pick-up is far away, it gets stuck, so we cancel,” he added.
