The City of Cape Town’s Bellville sub council is setting up a multi-disciplinary task team to fight the battle against crime, grime, traffic congestion and the presence of 600 illegal taxis at the Bellville public transport interchange.
Councillor Glen Kleinsmith the sub council chairperson says the task team was set up after numerous complaints from local residents and businesses asking for monitoring at the interchange.
“It carries far more taxi traffic than the deck at the Cape Town station and has become notorious in the past few years for conflict within the taxi industry that has claimed many lives,” says Kleinsmith.
Kleinsmith elaborates that the task team will work with the South African Police Service and will reduce tensions on the volatile Delft and Kraaifontein routes.
