Joburg commuters have been left extremely angry and frustrated by Rea Vaya’s poor services lately.

WHY REA VAYA CANCELLED OPERATIONS TODAY?

This after the bus company cancelled all operations impromptu today, Thursday, 28 September, which left commuters inconvenienced.

“Passengers are informed that Rea Vaya buses are NOT operating today. We advise passengers to seek alternative transport. Regular update on the situation will be given during the course of the day. We apologise for the inconvenience,” the company communicated on social media.

The decision comes after a labour dispute had resulted in almost 10 buses to be out of service earlier this week.
