SowetanLive reported on Tuesday that Gauteng’s rapid rail service was operating, but its bus link service had been suspended due to protest action by drivers.
The Gautrain said: “Please note there is no bus service at all stations, including Park Station, due to intimidation by bus drivers who are protesting. The train service is operating according to schedule. The midi-bus service is also operating as usual. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.” National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) national motor organiser Mduduzi Nkosi told Eyewitness News the protest action stemmed from an internal conflict. eNCA reports that workers are angry over the dismissal of a colleague and have vowed to continue their strike action until he is reinstated.
