The first phase of the project, known as C3, which runs from Pinetown to KwaMashu’s Bridge City Mall has, so far, cost taxpayers over R3 billion.

The municipality planned to start the new bus system in September last year, however, a year later and it has gone nowhere.

“We met with the city and the National Treasury last year where we presented our demands. We have not heard from them since. Maybe they did not like our proposal, we do not know. But they haven’t made any effort to resolve the issues. Durban was not the only city facing challenges with the introduction of the integrated bus rapid system. Msunduzi municipality in Pietermaritzburg and Rustenburg local municipality were among others experiencing problems with the rapid bus system which has caught the attention of the national transport minister.
