Congress of South African Trade Unions in the Western Cape will lead a strike today over poor public transport services in Cape Town.

The trade union federation has argued that bus and train services are far from satisfactory and impact on workers' daily lives.

Cosatu's Tony Ehrenreich said that a protest march will also be staged later today.

He added that public transport needed to be drastically improved in the city.
