New bus fleet for City unveiled
eThekwini Mayor Mxolisi Kaunda said the estimated cost for the new fleet is R380m.
A FLEET of 28 new Durban Transport buses were unveiled last week by eThekwini Mayor Mxolisi Kaunda.
The new buses will form part of the 148 fleet the City will deliver by the end of the year.
Kaunda said the estimated cost for the fleet is R380m.
He added that the new fleet will ensure that commuters, particularly the poor and working class, have access to safe, reliable and affordable public transport.
“The new buses will replace the ageing and unreliable fleet that led to inconvenience for commuters as they would often not reach their destinations on time. Therefore, as a listening and caring government, we decided to embark on a process of replacing our old fleet,” said Mayor Kaunda.
He said that the new fleet will improve the public transport system in the City and encourage more people to use public transport.
