Golden Arrow Services has again apologised for the on-going bus strike. 

In a statement Golden Arrow said it is extremely unfortunate that no resolution seems to be in sight after almost two weeks, given the repeated attempts by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration and the General Secretary of the South African Road Passenger Bargaining Council to bring an end to the industrial action. 

Golden Arrow Spokesperson Bronwen Dyke said it is not only the commuters who are will suffer but also the workers who will not be receiving any wages for the duration of the strike.

“Golden Arrow has therefore asked the Commuter Bus Employers Association to urgently approach the national Minister of Transport and Labour to seek their intervention in what is a matter of national importance” Dyke added.
