Commuting on local public transport

Zama Lungiza, a taxi and bus commuter from Khayelitsha to Cape Town city centre, shared with Briefly News about the joys of commuting in local taxis and buses.

"On many occasions, I've woken at the bus or taxi rank with my head on a passenger's shoulder, and they wouldn't say anything.
Falling asleep is common when one has to wake up as early as we do to catch a 05:00 bus and make it on time for the 08:30 sign-on. Fortunately, most people are understanding and don't mind when others accidentally fall asleep on their shoulders."

Mzansi loves the strangers' bond

The video gained 1.1M views and over 11K comments, sparking laughter across social media. Users flooded the comments section with jokes and witty remarks. The humorous incident brought lightheartedness to many, showcasing how everyday moments can create viral internet sensations.
