The Rea Vaya coaches were the new celebrities in town as they completed their first journey from central Johannesburg to Soweto on Sunday.

Taxi operators will meet on Monday to discuss the launch of the bus rapid transport system, the SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) said on Saturday.

Despite resistance from the local taxi industry, Johannesburg’s new public transport system is on track to begin operating at the end of August.
