BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM: PLANS AFOOT TO COME INTO OPERATION END OF JUNE

Taxi drivers to man IPTS buses ROSLYN BAATJIES

T

HE Nelson Mandela Bay Metro’s bus rapid transit system is expected to come into operation by the end of June, but before that happens, the empowerment and training of taxi drivers must happen first. According to the business plan, 144 taxi drivers - who would possibly drive the buses that are part of the municipality’s integrated public transport service (IPTS) – started receiving training from yesterday (Tuesday, April 11). Rano Kayser, Mayoral Committee Member for Roads and Transport, said the taxi drivers are members of taxi associations who have signed a memorandum of agreement with the municipality. According to him, the training and drivers’ license upgrade of the taxi drivers should be completed by the end of May. “The trial run of the route of Cleary Park to the Port Elizabeth city centre and the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) will also take place at the end of May. “The IPTS is expected to start with the first route by the end of June. As far as the municipality is concerned, we are ready to implement the bus service taking into account the processes that need to be followed.”
