Impotent taxi drivers try to stop new public transport system
The R 3 billion ( US$ 400 million) City of Johannesburg Johannesburg Bus Rapid Transit system (http://www.reavaya.org.za/home) - branded ‘Rea Vaya’ - is one week old today and it seems to have had very few teething troubles.
This is really good news and augres well for our 2010 Soccer World cup readiness.
Our kombi/mini-bus taxi operators thumped their chests impotently and threatened strikes, law suits and even violence to try to stop this new competition from “taking our jobs” but at the end of the day the people spoke and won - by filling all the seats on the busses and asking for more.
Sadly two commuters were slightly injured when the occupants of a Toyota Quantum minibus shot at one of the new busses last Tuesday. This is the worst type of serious cowardly criminal action and should be dealt with harshly by the law.
And related to this issue, police are still trying to determine the motive behind the killing of the South African National Taxi Council’s deputy president, Mthuthuzeli Molefe, who was gunned down at his home in the south of Johannesburg on Friday night.Initial reports indicate that the murder was not linked to Rea Vaya but SANTACO’s Phillip Taaibosch says his murder could be politically motivated.
