Metrorail in the Western Cape has today reassured its commuters that despite the on going nation wide strike with bus divers, there is no talk about train drivers joining the strike. 

The South African Transport and Allied Workers Union’s Vincent Masoga last week said they will try and get the train and truck drivers to join the strike if no resolution if found.  

Metrorail Regional Manager Mthuthuzeli Swartz said they have not received notice of a strike by Metrorail employees therefore they will continue to assist bus commuters where possible. 

Swartz also said there has not been a talk of a strike by the train drivers.

“We have not yet gotten to a stage where the talks have either broken down or talked about a strike; there is no strike as yet” Swartz pledged.
