yes there is a housing complex behind the shopping mall.Plse dont cruise inside there- u will be arrested for trespassing or eaten alive by dogs
Sorry to hear ur problems with public transportation. I did warn u .
The Jet gas station I ment is at the oposite side of the road. If u have a car leaving crystal centre make a U turn under the brigde. If ur on foot u can cross the road using the pedestrian traffic crossing but run run and dont count on green lights for pedestrians. After u make it alive to the other side look left - facing away from crystal centre and u see the Jet service station within easy walking distance. U can grab a taxi from there lateron. I had no further luck at Crystal but the gasstation is not bad at all.Evenings is washing up time for taxi drivers and motorcycle boys
