Golden Arrow Bus Services on Monday apologised to its commuters for the on going nation wide strike, that has caused major disruptions. 

In a statement it said unfortunately Golden Arrow is not in a position to unlock the current situation as the South African Road Passengers Bargaining Council comprises two employer associations and two unions representing the entire South African bus industry. 

Golden Arrow’s Human Resources Executive Bronwen Dyke said there are no winners in the situation as passengers are inconvenienced, staff members are not receiving wages, the company is not operating and the entire economy is suffering.

“Any wage increase must be inline with the current economic climate; we can not accommodate the demands made at the moment.

“We are hopeful that the unions involved will return to the bargaining table in a spirit that safeguards their employment and the future of the South African bus industry” Dyke added.

Dyke also said Golden Arrow would do its best to inform its customers informed at all times.
