The 28 new Durban Transport buses unveiled today by eThekwini Mayor Councillor Mxolisi Kaunda form part of the 148 fleet the City will deliver by end of the year. The estimated cost for the fleet is R380 million.

Speaking at the launch, Mayor Kaunda said the new fleet will ensure that commuters, particularly the poor and working class have access to safe, reliable and affordable public transport.
 
“The new buses will replace the ageing and unreliable fleet which led to inconvenience for commuters as they would often not reach their destinations on time. Therefore, as a listening and caring government, we decided to embark on a process of replacing our old fleet,” said Mayor Kaunda.

The Mayor added that the new fleet will improve the public transport system in the City and encourage more people to use public transport.
