EWN reports that Rea Vaya passengers will once again have to contend with service disruptions, this time due to safety concerns raised by the rapid bus transit (BRT) company.
On Thursday, the Joburg Metro issued a suspension notice alerting commuters that feeder buses would be suspended indefinitely. The metro attributed the move to safety and security concerns, which are currently the subject of investigations. Earlier this month, two of Rea Vaya’s bus drivers were murdered, which caused the bus service to shut down 58 of its stations leaving thousands of commuters stranded. In recent years the BRT system has seen more than its fair share of troubles including, wage-related strike action, financial challenges and service interruptions. Following the shooting incidents this month, metro police have been providing escort services from the stations to the final destination points of busses.
