Matatu operators call off strike set for Thursday

The public transport strike that was scheduled to commence Thursday has been suspended.

This is following a stakeholders‘ meeting Wednesday morning by National Police Service (NPS), National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and the Federation of Public Transport Sector (FPTS) on the ongoing multi-agency crackdown on non compliant vehicles.

According to a statement from the National Police Service, the ongoing multi–agency crack down on non–compliant public transport vehicles has also been suspended.

It was further agreed that the federation of public transport will be represented in future multi–agency operations.
