The next phase of Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit System will be introduced on 3 May 2010, said the City of Johannesburg yesterday.
This will include an additional complementary service directly from Dobsonville to Maponya mall and feeder services from Protea Glen to Thokoza Park station and from Eldorado Park to Thokoza Park station.
A central business district distribution service, which was suspended just a few months ago, will be re-introduced to link the trunk services with Braamfontein, Wits University and Hillbrow.
From 3 May 2010, all service times will be extended and the last buses will depart at 22h40. Sunday services will also be introduced on all routes. The feeder and complementary buses will stop at over 170 bus stops along the routes.
This is in addition to the trunk route service that began on 30 August 2009, commencing at Thokoza Park in Soweto, running 25.5 kilometres to Ellis Park, northeast of the central business district and utilising 23 stations en route.
