Lusanda Bill
21 July 2011
The provincial government in the Eastern Cape is finally tackling a scholar transport crisis after bus services were suspended at the beginning of the year due to maladministration.
Transport MEC Thandiswa Marawu recently signed an 18-month contract with bus and taxi operators to improve the problem.
Provincial department spokesperson Ncedo Kumbaca says however that more children are arriving at pick-up points than expected.
He says only certain learners will benefit from the service.
