“We are going to take steps to change this situation because our people deserve the best,” said a visibly frustrated Ramaphosa. “The way people are transported is not ideal, this not how we want to see working people being transported, some of them are students and some of them are job seekers. You just really destroy their enthusiasm about getting into a public transportation system like this.
