Plans to improve scholar transport on the cards

Lusanda Bill
13 April 2011


The transport system for school pupils will completely change.

The Transport Department’s Director-General George Mahlalela briefed Parliament’s Transport Portfolio Committee yesterday on plans to implement national standards.

The department of education will not be managing scholar transport anymore.

Transport Portfolio Committee Chairperson Ruth Bhengu said over R1billion will be injected into improving the system but that would not be enough adding it must be regulated.
