The City of Johannesburg is calling for name suggestions for 13 new Rea Vaya stations, four new interchanges and two new bridges that are being built between Alexandra, Sandton and the inner city.
Residents have until 31 October to send in their proposed names.
Nonhlanhla Makhubu, MMC for Transport said the City is required to approach residents for proposals.
“We are encouraging all Johannesburg residents to take part in this historic naming of the Rea Vaya stations, interchanges and bridges in which names will be selected based either on the history of the area or a geographic landmark,” Makhubu said.
The stations will be up and running by October next year between the Joburg inner city, Alexandra and Sandton and, according to Makhubu, it will contribute to the growth and economic empowerment of disadvantaged people in the areas.
“For each station, bridge and interchange, one or two names have to be suggested. However, members of the public are free to suggest further names. The proposed names will be finalised by the City council.”
