VOICED: Johannesburg's new buses anger taxi drivers as World Cup looms

The video discusses the introduction of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Johannesburg, which connects Soweto to central Johannesburg and the Soccer City stadium. While the BRT is praised for its convenience, it faces opposition from taxi drivers who feel their business is threatened. The government has implemented bus-only lanes, further aggravating taxi drivers. Many former taxi drivers are being recruited as BRT drivers, but concerns remain about job availability. Authorities claim the market can support both taxis and buses, but tensions persist as the World Cup approaches.

What measures is the government taking to accommodate former taxi drivers in the new transport system?

What is the government's stance on the sustainability of both taxis and buses in Johannesburg?
