Despite the dramatic scenes, many who attended the event pushed back hard against the idea that the bus system itself was to blame. Comments flooded in suggesting the chaos came down to crowd behaviour rather than poor planning.

@HK 🇿🇦 weighed in:

"People just didn't want to stand in the line. Systems were fine, but people didn't want to do what's right."

@TsholoElle agreed:

"Impatience causes this! The bus situation at the event was very good!!"

@ohitscheesykarabo put it bluntly:

"People have the inability to be proper and have class. Just stand in line decently, hebana [honestly]?"

@Sino Kobo added:

"No, it's not. It's the people who don't want to stand in a line properly!"

Those who planned ahead had no drama.

@life_with_evah shared:

"Yoh, I left early, and my ride home was smooth. I knew if I waited for the event to end, this was gonna happen."
