Employees of Translux and City to City buses are facing a bleak future as the state- owned company is unable to sustain itself due to shrinking passenger numbers and financial losses. IsaacPat

The suspension, which came after a contract of a service provider rendering security services came to an end, has since been lifted. Employees who spoke on condition of anonymity said for five days Eastern Cape services which had some of the"most profitable routes" were suspended.

Sowetan established that the company had a fleet of around 500 buses, however, only around 100 were on the road. He said often, their buses are late by as much as four hours. The company could now only afford to pay half of its employees' January salaries with the balance expected tomorrow. The SA Transport and Allied Workers Union has requested an urgent meeting with the company's management. Satawu spokesperson Zanele Sabela said:"We sent a letter requesting an urgent meeting with management of Autopax tomorrow.
