Rea Vaya has urged passengers to make alternative transport arrangements after suspending its services on Tuesday morning.
The transport service suspended its buses until further notice following shooting incidences in Soweto on Monday night.
In the first incident, it is reported that the driver had stopped at a robot along Wildchestnut Street in Protea when he was shot and killed by unknown suspects.On the second incident at Tshithuthune Street, the eyewitness reported that he was the last passenger on the bus when he heard gunshots and took cover.
“The City will meet with the Soweto taxi operators to find solutions to the concerns raised by the taxi associations.”Kunene initially said the taxi industry only had an issue with the 45 Rea Vaya feeder buses because they did not have Gauteng registration plates. “Mistakes happened at the depot, where the 45 buses were told to collect people with the wrong registration number plates. They were supposed to make sure that before the buses went out, they had the GP number plates,” said Kunene.“The taxi industry became very angry because, according to industry standards, you have to operate a bus or taxi with the registration of that particular province. We apologise for that inconvenience.
