“Sizama ukuyisa imboni yamabhasi kwelinye izinga,” kusho uMoser, wengeza ngokuthi iMegabus inxusa ingxube yabantu abasha abangochwepheshe abakhathalela izindleko, abesifazane abangashadile nezingane zabo kanye “nabatshuza emanzini esiliva,” noma asebethathe umhlalaphansi.

Khonamanjalo, kunempi yamanani efufusayo phakathi kwe-Air Canada kanye ne-Porter Airlines eqalayo ezindizeni eziphakathi kwe-Toronto ne-New York, ngemali yokugibela yendlela eyodwa yokuya e-Newark's Liberty International Airport ikhangiswe ngemali encane engu-$95 kanye nezintela nezintela.
Izingqapheli zithi kungase kube nzima ukunxenxa abantu ukuba bachithe usuku lonke ebhasini kuyilapho bekwazi ukuchitha ihora nesigamu kuphela endizeni ngaphandle kokugqekeza.
"Impela, bazoheha abantu abambalwa abangafuni ukundiza noma abacikekile ngezindaba zokuphepha ezikhumulweni zezindiza," kusho uDavid Newman, umhlaziyi weNational Bank Financial. "Kodwa, ekugcineni kosuku, unesethi ephoqelelayo yabancintisana nabo (inkampani yezindiza) ezehlela eNew York."
I-Megabus iyabheja kunemakethe enkulu yabahambi abakhathalela izindleko njengabafundi kanye nabanye abahola kancane.
