Calls for Government to encourage public transport

from Checkpoint

Would you rather work from home or take subsidised public transport to avoid the increasing cost of fuelling up the car? Public transport operators have made a case to the Government to encourage commuters to ride the bus or train under a worst case scenario of fuel rationing, rather than order working from home. Combined, they provide more than 100 million rides a year to commuters and say they have the capacity to support many more. Pretoria Gordon checked in with commuters about what they'd do.
