In 1902 a bus service was started between Muizenberg and Kommetjie. Passing through Fish Hoek was quite a problem, as the road was often covered with sand making it almost impassable. The unreliability of the early engines, and the fact that the passengers objected to paying high fares if they had to get out and push, led to the service being discontinued. Transport in the area returned to the horse drawn cart or ox wagon until the reliability of the petrol engine was improved. link to gosouthonline.co.za/fish-hoek-looking-back/
