DURBAN bus driver Deena Dayalan Naidoo was awarded Durban’s best bus driver for April as part of the Move to Muvo Campaign.
Naidoo has been driving one of the People Mover Buses in the city for more than five years. Often found doing his daily commuter route passing the city’s famous Indian Spice Market, Warwick Junction, the Botanical Garden, West Street and South Beach, Naidoo says that he really enjoys his job. “I love my job, interacting with the different people of our beautiful, sunny city brings great joy to me. I believe that as a driver to respect and help all of my passengers all the time is part of my job and I always look forward to that!”
He was awarded the Best Bus Driver of the month award voted for by the commuters for being a good ambassador and assisting commuters with their Muvo cards.
Bus coupons were discontinued from 1 April and replaced with the new MUVO Smartcard, to provide a safer, more efficient way of paying for public transport. The card is part of GO!Durban, the massive Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network, that will eventually be used on all the public transport within the network which sees the integration of public transport with dedicated lanes for busses and upgraded transport corridors for rail.
