challenges

I have been facing as a customer, how these problems have affected me and give possible solutions to the problems identified.
Firstly

, there are few
challenges

I have observed are the main causes of its non-dependability. The breakdown of the ticketing machine, which has resulted in passengers loading their
bus

cards manually, which is done by joining a very long
queue
Use synonyms
to get their card recharged manually.
In addition

, the
buses

arrive late to the station against the agreed time without any prior notification to its
customers

which is not good enough.
This

disrupts the movement schedule of most people and even me, which could lead to lateness to where ever they planned to go.
For instance

Furthermore
