Bus Rapid Transport System

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!

  1. 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.

  2. A bus system sounds like a smart way to go.

  3. I 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.
