The Western Cape Department of Transport and Public Works, together with the City of Cape Town have initiated the pilot project on the N2, this project will be launched next week Wednesday.

“A dedicated bus and minibus taxis lane on the N2 will be launched by the City of Cape and the Western Cape Department of Transport”, says the City spokesperson Robert Macdonald.

Macdonald added,“We started it up because we want to speed up our public transport so that people can get to work in time and we want to encourage more people to use public transport.”

According to Macdonald the lane will be monitored through a number of electric systems using cameras which will identify any vehicle other than buses and taxes.
