I think this is a wonderful concept. Is it going to be accepted by the Taxi Drivers?
Thanks for commneting Pumpy, the taxi drivers are not happy about the system but negotiations are in place to make sure that everything goes smoothly. It was supposed to be imlemented before the Confederations Cup but Taxi guys couldn't back off, so the next date is the end of August 2009.
Congratulations to Joburg and its residents for such an important enterprise. It's a development that will impress the FIFA WC visitors, including myself, and outlive the event. I tried finding more information about the route of the BRT but didn't see anything at the street level. I plan on staying in Melrose area but I am not sure how close to the hotels it will go. Would you please point me out to something that can provide me that information?
Thank you
