Taxi operators are expected to withdraw their taxis in favour of the BRT buses on the identified bus routes across Ekurhuleni.<\/p>\n<p>Tebogo Modise, the marketing officer for KTVR Bus Service, said, \u201cWhilst KTVR Bus Service is responsible for purchasing a fleet of buses and will run the service with a loan secured from the Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA), the metro is responsible for building the infrastructure required, such as the dedicated bus lanes, bus stations, pedestrian bridges into and across the bus stations, IT infrastructure and ticket sales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo date KTVR Bus Service has purchased and owns 18 buses. An extra 40 buses are being manufactured by Busmark. We are expecting delivery later in the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn total we will own a bus fleet of 210 buses that will provide a BRT service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Taxi

informed by the following issues:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Construction of infrastructure by the metro is way behind schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The contract for a technical adviser has not been finalised.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The contract for market surveyors has not been finalised.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Memorandum of Agreement between the ETI and the metro has not been fully honoured by the metro.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The DBSA loan is under threat because the metro has not fulfilled certain conditions required by the DBSA.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The impression the taxi industry has been given is that the Harambee BRT project does not have the political support of the executive mayor and the support of the city manager of Ekurhuleni.<\/p>\n<p>The memorandum, accepted on behalf of the executive mayor by the MMC for Transport, Clr Petrus Mabunda, further stated that they wanted the removal of the executive mayor and city manager to take place within 30 days of the handing over of the memorandum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFailure by the council to remove the mayor and the city manager will lead to the disruption of the transport service for a sustainable and prolonged manner,\u201d the memorandum stated.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ekurhuleni Taxi Industry leaders speak to a group of protesting members outside the Germiston Civic\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"

their letters had been acknowledged or replied to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome communities in Ekurhuleni have endured similar treatment from the mayor\u2019s office,\u201d the memorandum stated.<\/p>\n<p>The memorandum went on to speak about the metro failing to uphold the human rights of the ETI, as well as the Ekurhuleni community by not adhering to a number of constitutional requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Zweli Dlamini, chief specialist: media relations for the office of the city manager, said that the mayor has committed that the metro would be engaging with the issues on the memorandum and would revert to the taxi industry within the stipulated 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>A meeting between the metro and the taxi industry has been planned for Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p
