The ongoing closure of the Bellville taxi rank after a shooting incidents has led to chaos in the area as taxis seek a place to park.

In an effort to provide an amicable solution to the displaced Bellville taxis issue the City, in partnership with other stakeholders, is looking into ways it can resolve the issue and provide assistance to the troubled sector.

The Belleville taxi rank which has been temporarily shut down for the past week has caused some discomfort for both the taxi industry and its commuters some of whom rely on the public transport service to travel on a daily basis. Chairperson of the transport portfolio Angus Mckenzie, said: “Certain lanes in the Bellville taxi rank were closed due to ongoing shooting.

“We’ve now decided to identify an alternative space for the Bellville taxis, and from there we will start the process of identifying and implementing such measures. It’s obviously not ideal to have closed the rank but we support the MEC’s decision in closing the rank.

“The City conducted a site inspection at the Bellville PTI on August 19 2020 to ascertain the extent of the existing issues.Cape Argus
