Western Cape Transport Minister, Daylin Mitchell, says all loading lanes at the Bellville Public Transport Interchange have been re-opened except for the Paarl loading lane at the long distance facility.

Route B97 for taxis between Mbekweni and Bellville was closed last month following a deadly feud between associations, CATA and CODETA. Mitchell says relative calm has been restored to all affected taxi routes.

“Following the signing of an agreement by affected parties on Monday 2 August and a week of relative calm and peaceful operations at the interchange and on routes, it was agreed that all CATA and CODETA-affiliated associations would return to service and that operators will conduct their services with due regard to the rule of law and the safety of the public”
