The SA Roadlink saga’s hotting up. The beleaguered bus company has requested an urgent meeting with KZN Transport MEC Bheki Cele - to discuss his ban on Roadlink buses operating in this province.
The company maintains it still hasn’t been officially informed of the move, and that it’s got it’s lawyers involved.
The drastic step was announced in the wake of Tuesday’s bus accident near Hibberdene - the latest in a series involving Roadlink since 2006.
The meeting between the MEC and a delegation from SA Roadlink will take place tomorrow afternoon.
In the interim, the matter appears to be in the hands of lawyers from both the bus company and the provincial transport department.
There’s a showdown looming. As of late this afternoon, SA Roadlink spokesperson Herman Steyn was adamant that it was still ‘business as usual’ for them.
They’re supposed to stop any KZN or Durban leg of travel from Saturday, but the private bus company is not backing down at this stage, saying it’ll see what happens at tomorrow’s meeting.
Many passengers meanwhile just want their money back, telling Newswatch they’ve lost faith in the company.
