North West allocates R30 million towards recapitalisation of busses
Stakeholders in the transport industry will be afforded a chance to participate in the recapitalisation and redistribution of busses to serve rural communities, Premier Thandi Modise assured in her response to the Debate of the State of the Province Address on Tuesday.
Premier Modise made the commitment in announcing that R30 million has been allocated to the North West Transport Investment (NTI) towards the recapitalisation process.
“The recapitalisation is necessary as some of the busses are over 40- years- old. New busses would be prioritised for learner transport and expand access to public transport for disadvantaged communities in our province,” Modise said.
The NTI bus fleet of 600 busses includes the Batswana Gare Transport, Botlhaba Transport Service and the Attridgeville Bus Service and operates mostly outside the province.
