EWN reports that commuters using Joburg Metrobus have been urged to continue finding alternative transport on Monday, with a strike at the company entering its sixth day.

Workers are demanding an 18% wage increase. Metrobus said it was not prepared to enter into negotiations with the Democratic Municipal and Allied Workers Union of SA. Company spokesperson Goodwill Shiburi indicated: “We’d like to prepare commuters that we may not have services on Tuesday and on Wednesday and we encourage our commuters to continue making alternative transport arrangement. It is very unfortunate that we are not having any negotiations, we are looking at other alternatives to deal with this apart from going to negotiations with them.”
