REA Vaya Bus commuters were stranded yesterday after what appeared to be an internal matter between Pio-Trans and Litsamaiso, the private companies that operate services on behalf of the city. Rea Vaya Bus issued a notice to commuters on Wednesday afternoon. “Passengers are advised that Rea Vaya buses T1, C1, C2, C3, F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 are not operating at the moment. We are in contact with the bus operating company to establish the problem. An update on the situation will be given. We apologise for the inconvenience,” a notice circulated on social media reads. Speaking to Newzroom Afrika, the City of Joburg’s Dorothy Mabuza said affected passengers were mostly from Soweto. “Pio-Trans and Litsamaiso are private companies that operate services on behalf of the city. Their internal matters and dealings, the city has no leverage on them. The city cannot interfere in internal matters. What is of interest to us is the movement of commuters to their respective destinations,” she said.
