Gautrain bus drivers to strike yet again

Johannesburg - Gautrain bus services might be disrupted in some parts of Gauteng on Monday afternoon because of an imminent strike by drivers, said the Bombela Concession company.

"The drivers are demanding that MegaExpress bus company provide them with transport service from their residences to the work place every day," spokesperson Kelebogile Machaka said.

"The service is now running normally even though the drivers reported for duty half an hour late this morning."

Machaka said the management of the bus operating company was negotiating with employee representatives to resolve the dispute.

She said there might be service disruptions from 18:00, when the drivers were expected to embark on a strike.

Areas likely to be affected include the Johannesburg city centre, Kempton Park, Fourways, Randburg, the Pretoria city centre and Brooklyn.

Contingency plans are in place to minimise the effects of the strike, Machaka said.

"We apologise for any inconvenience this industrial action might cause," she said.
