The City if Ekurhuleni’s Caucus’ Chief Whip, Clr Jongizizwe Dlabathi, and the City’s executive members spent the entire Friday inspecting the Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network (IRPTN) project in Tembisa.
According to Dlabathi, the purpose of the site inspection was to monitor the progress of the IRPTN project, which kick-started in 2015.
“We are here to monitor progress and work that has been done so far. This visit forms part of the many programmes we are hoping to oversee during this Transport Month,” said Dlabathi.
“Well, so far, we are happy with the work that has been done and we are looking forward to seeing the projects completed and handed over, so that our people can start enjoying the benefits of democracy.
“As you would know, the IRPTN aims to transform public transport within Ekurhuleni, providing an affordable, yet high-quality public transport system in line with national policy. Its main objective is to provide a new and attractive transport network that includes road and rail public transport that serves the needs of the people of Ekurhuleni as a whole,” he said.
Limited service of the Harambee BRT system started in October 2017.
The city will later in the month receive 22 new Harambee buses.
