UPDATE: Metrobus strike continues
Please make alternative arrangements for transport if you use this service.
The City of Johannesburg’s Metrobus has been affected by the current bus strike by employees affiliated with the Democratic Municipal and Allied Workers Union of South Africa (Demawusa) on 6 June.
The transport entity warned commuters to be vigilant when using its services, revealing photos of busses damaged, likely because of the strike.

Are all routes now affected?

Maybe we must do a joint law suit as passengers for the loss of money paid for monthly tags since they knew of the strike way before we bought the tags

@JoburgMetrobus are this guys asking for something you know or you just can't give them as all employers always do.
We can't be stranded just because of your selfishness. We need buses or you give them what they want

We just loaded our bus tags for heavens sake. Now we need to have more money for alternative transport, just because of the 20% that is on strike. Do you think that is fair????
