The 4B phase roll-out is lined up for communities who had up to now been excluded from the rapid transport system.
After several consultations with Minister of Transport Blade Nzimande, the George municipality is set to roll out the Go George rapid transport system to struggling communities of the southern Cape town.
The move comes after the George town council was reprimanded by the national department of transport for not rolling out another phase of the system and facing the prospect of national grant funding being withdrawn. George council committee for integrated public transport member Alderman Bazil Petrus welcomed the national minister’s visit and his assistance with the consultation process to ensure future progressive roll-outs of the next Go George phases.
