Thebus, in the witness box in the Cape High Court, was commenting on the version of events put forward by Luyanda Mboniswa, who has been charged with her murder.
Thebus had taken off his shoes to climb onto De Klerk's balcony, pulled Mboniswa up behind him, and entered the flat through a sliding door.
Thebus said police took samples from him for forensic analysis, and subjected him to a lie-detector test before releasing him.

 The Herald : News : 1mar.htm
Mr Thebus had volunteered his fingerprints and DNA testing, had allowed police to search his house and car, and had even been subjected to a lie detector test, which indicated he was not involved in the murder, top detective Superintendent Mike Barkhuizen said.
Mr Thebus believes he was one of the most frequent visitors to Mrs De Klerk’s luxury flat and that Mr Mboniswa could have taken his details from the security register at the complex.
The superintendent said that phone records showed Mr Thebus was on the phone at 11.55pm on December 2, while the State was also in possession of evidence that a call was made from Mrs De Klerk’s flat at 11.55pm to the reception area at the Dolphin Beach complex.

TheBus, of course, is heavily subsidized, and so experts say if vanpools were further subsidized and TheBus was less subsidized, making the price to the consumer more even, that more people would opt to take the vanpool or carpool over TheBus.
TheBus strike actually made the public realize the city’s BRT plan to run on exclusive lanes, cutting off lanes from general traffic in several of Hawaii’s major Honolulu thoroughfares, was not a way to make traffic flow quicker and more smoothly, rather to make traffic even more stagnant.
Local experts say fewer TheBus vehicles would be needed overall if private transporters were brought in during peak traffic times because TheBus fleet is around twice the size it needs to be during off-peak hours, but is kept large to accommodate ridership peaks in the morning and afternoon traffic times.

 IOL: Thebus is Marike's killer, says Mboniswa
This is what the former first lady's dance instructor John Thebus allegedly told security guard Luyanda Mboniswa after the attack that claimed her life, Mboniswa said in his confession to a Cape Town magistrate.
Judge President John Hlophe on Monday ruled that this confession, made to Magistrate Hennie le Roux, could be used by the state as evidence against Mboniswa in his Cape High Court murder trial.
He said he was not going to give me the car because the deal had failed: we had a corpse; we killed her; we got no money and no car.

In the face of rising gasoline prices last year, TheBus had a flood of new riders who needed information on how to use the system, Kennedy said.
Suddenly, its five-person call center crews were getting bogged down with calls from people who needed long explanations about the system's workings, and that was creating long times on hold for regular customers who needed only to know when the next bus was coming.
In an attempt to lessen the call center traffic, TheBus started its At Your Service pilot program, which provided general information about the system, such as fare information, as well as custom itineraries for people who wrote in.

If they can, they might not be able to board a regular bus because, at this point, only 60 percent have lifts or ramps and are accessible to people using wheelchairs.
Often, they prefer TheBus because of the ability to make spontaneous trips and because it provides more direct service than shared-ride Handi-Vans.
An equivalent trip by TheBus would have involved three buses and would have taken up to two hours.

I always thought that the people on Hotel street were rude but now I've come to understand that old bus riders are trained that way by TheBus drivers themselves to act in such a fashion.
Apparently the answer to that question is about a length of two feet in a 120 degree arc in the direct line of vision of the driver.
Although I appreciate the considerable responsibility that TheBus drivers have for the safety of those on and around the bus, I find this answer inadequate and is reflective of a poorly defined conduct policy.

 Hawaii Reporter: Hawaii Reporter
Since HRT had no true competition, its service was terrible, and it treated its drivers shoddily (they had no competing bus service to defect to), causing strikes like the one we have now.
If TheBus were privatized and competition re-legalized, prospects would improve.
That wouldn't strongly threaten jobs either; a private bus company could save money by hiring experienced bus drivers instead of paying for the training of new ones, so a private company would likely rehire the government bus drivers now on strike.
