Early this morning, MyCiTi decided to suspend all bus services with immediate effect, due to concerns about the safety of passengers and staff during the current strike.
The service was still running in the inner-city and Salt River areas, and between the Airport and the VA Waterfront earlier today, however, was suspended due to threats of possible violence against the service.
MyCiTi has tried to continue operating the service during the strike, as it is aware of the substantial impact that a lack of public transport can have on our residents. Unfortunately, this morning it became difficult to run a service due to the strike action.
We will monitor the situation during the course of the day and will return the service to operation if possible.
A national strike was called by two trade unions representing workers in the transport sector and began on Friday, 19 April 2013.
The City established a Joint Operations Centre to monitor the strike and provide enhanced security to ensure commuters can travel safely.
MyCiTi apologises to its passengers for the inconvenience. Commuters are requested to call the Transport Information Centre for further information on 0800 65 64 63 or listen to local media for updates during the day.
