With the Easter holiday just around the corner, Joe Gqabi Bus Terminus in Philippi, Cape Flats, is already gearing up for an influx of travellers.
Cape Town - With the Easter holiday just around the corner and families beginning to prepare for their long weekend road trips, Joe Gqabi Bus Terminus in Philippi, Cape Flats, is already gearing up for an influx of travellers on Thursday. Gordon Makaluza, the secretary of the Western Cape Long Distance Bus Association, said they were ready for the weekend.
On Monday, the Western Cape government and the Department of Transport and Public Works devised a comprehensive enforcement plan aimed at ensuring the safety of residents and visitors. Transport and Public Works MEC Donald Grant said enforcement and awareness interventions had been designed to respond effectively to the expected increases in traffic volumes and vehicle activities that had become synonymous with “this dangerous period”. Grant said the influx would place additional pressure on all law enforcement agencies that monitored and controlled traffic to ensure the effective and safe flow of traffic.
