The City of Tshwane says commuters will have to find alternative forms of transport following the suspension of the A Re Yeng bus services.
The bus service was suspended due to safety concerns amid the strike by the South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) over wage increases.
City spokesperson Selby Bokaba says threats have been made to bus drivers.
