CapeTownlogoANA reports that the City of Cape Town will deploy additional buses on the N2 express route between Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha and Cape Town to assist commuters who may be affected by the expected delays of Metrorail trains on Monday.  

The Golden Arrow Bus Service will also deploy additional buses on routes across the city to prevent commuters being stranded.  Condemning the violence and destruction of Metrorail infrastructure and carriages that took place on Thursday and Friday evenings at the Kraaifontein staging yard and the Cape Town and Woodstock stations, mayoral committee member for transport Brett Herron said the fact that Metrorail was in a state of crisis could not be ignored.  He went on to say:  “The sabotage of the service by illegal strikers and the longstanding issues with Metrorail’s infrastructure  …  must be addressed as a matter of urgency.”
