From one strike to another, first the busses and taxi’s and now Metrotrail. What an inconvenience for those who make use of Public transport on a daily basis. Thousands of people were left stranded last week to the bus and taxi strikes and thousands more will experience the same today with Metrorail being on strike.
It all well and good that Golden Arrow has offered to transport regular train users using the tickets but here comes the joke, the can only use their tickets after 8.30am. Most people start work at that time so what help is that. Not much if you ask me. More of an inconvenience actually. It is quite sad though as the public transport system is the lifeline of the city and with the 2010 Soccer World Cup coming up its quite scary that our public transport system is coming loose at the seams.
Well all we can basically do now is hope and pray that something gets done. We have less than a year left to the World Cup
