Bus drivers embarked on a strike, which the company deems to be illegal, on Tuesday morning leaving thousands of commuters stranded.


The nature of the workers’ grievances are not yet known. 


Gautrain spokesperson Kasagee Nayager says all buses have been suspended.


“Please note that there is no bus service at all stations, including Park Station, due to intimidation from bus drivers who are protesting. Train service is operating according to schedule. The midi-bus service is also operating as usual. We apologise for the inconvenience caused,” says Nayager.


The trains continue to operate.


“The bus service remains suspended due to illegal protest action. The train service and the midibus service are operating without any impact," she says.
