Buscor gets a thorough sanitising with CMLM
Just two days after Minister Fikile Mbalula announced that government will assist the public transport sector with sanitising their fleets, the City of Mbombela Local Municipality (CMLM) heeded the call and fumigated all Buscor buses, the offices and terminus.
This was to ensure the buses were ready to operate from 05:00 until 20:00, as mandated by national government as part of level 4 lockdown. The municipality ensured that each and every bus was thoroughly sanitised so Buscor could ferry its passengers in safety.
“We are thankful to the municipality, under the leadership of the executive mayor Cllr Sibusiso Mathonsi, for coming on board and help us sanitise our buses before we begin our normal operations.
“This proves just how committed government is to fighting the spread of the virus, and that working together we will win this battle,” acknowledged Buscor’s executive chairperson, Dr Nora Fakude-Nkuna.

Buscor transports more than 100 000 passengers each day and with the buses sanitised, Fakude-Nkuna appealed to passengers to always wear their masks, as required by government.
“We will play our part in trying to keep our buses and terminus safe and clean all the time. All we are asking for in return is that our passengers wear their masks and keep the required distance.
We are in this fight together and will only win if we work together, hand-in-glove,” she said.
