There has been a lot of conflict lately between the Taxi drivers and the Municipality, over the building of a Rapid Bus system. This has left construction at a standstill, and Govan Mbeki Ave from the bottom of Evatt Street to the corner of Albany Rd is reduced to 1 narrow lane either way, and no parking available, even outside the main Post Office. Hopefully the current agreement will be honoured, and the town can return to normal soon!

Bus Rapid Transport System

I hope the agreement that has now been made will be honoured by the taxi industry and no more strikes will take place. I think I read somewhere that the road is now closed to fast track the construction. I may be wrong.
ReplyDeleteA bus system sounds like a smart way to go.
ReplyDeleteI just can't understand the Taxi guys think. They will be beneficiaries in the whole system but they still oppose because they don't wanna pay Tax.
