SABC News reports that commuters using the City of Tshwane Bus Services (TBS) for the rest of this week will experience delays on some routes due to a shortage of drivers.
This after the bus service announced a disruption of its bus operations on Thursday and Friday due to a shortage of drivers. Thirty-one bus drivers affiliated to the SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) will be appearing before the city’s disciplinary committee for participating in an unprotected strike in May this year. The city’s spokesperson Selby Bokaba advised that 60 bus routes that were normally serviced on weekdays would have 15 less buses on both days. “The shortage will see some of the routes either experiencing delays in the scheduled times or fewer buses, as some of the on-duty drivers will be diverted to the high-volume areas. The following 15 routes will be affected: Villieria 3 Wespark, 1, 7 and 8, Voortrekkerhoogte, Die Wilgers, Lynnwood Manor, Garsfontein 2, Centurion, Danville, Doornpoort 2, East Lynne 1, Murrayfield, Moregloed 1, The Orchards 2.”, Bokaba indicated.
