Taxi tyrants have a cheek claiming the BRT

THE National Taxi Alliance has a bloody cheek trying to claim the BRT system for the taxi industry.

Good grief! Who knew that communists held such sway that they plan to nationalise an industry before it's even off the ground?

When the NTA pays back every cent of the costs for setting up the BRT in Joburg to the city's ratepayers, then they can claim ownership . Until then, shut up and accept that you either play nice or suffer the consequences.

Since when do taxis own roads? I pay my share in license fees, petrol levies and rates. By virtue of this I am a stakeholder in the BRT. I say enough pandering to taxis. Implement BRT and let democracy decide for us, not the taxi tyrants!

Councillor Ann Barnes, DA Joburg
