[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: ICANN Durban Meeting: Travel Logistics

[Tapani Tarvainen]

If there're any Durban residents or frequent travellers in our midst:

Reading the below from Consticuency Travel left me wondering,
what's wrong with the regular airport bus in Durban:
http://www.airportbustransport.co.za/

Offhand I suspect it's simply that ICANN has made a deal
with those operators, but I'm ready to be corrected
if someone has better knowledge.
