The bus service company announced that after a meeting with government and assurances that measures were put in place to protect staff and passengers during the EFF's nationwide protest, services would continue on Monday.

JOHANNESBURG - The Public Utility Transport Corporation released a statement to the media on Friday announcing that their bus services would operate as usual "as far as possible", despite the Economic Freedom Fighters' national shutdown.

Putco said it had an urgent meeting between Minister of Transport Sindisiwe Chikunga, her deputy, senior government officials, and the executives of the Southern Africa Bus Operators Association on Thursday afternoon. "We assure our passengers and staff that we will monitor the situation closely, and should it become unsafe, services will be suspended immediately."
