The contract, worth R180m, is for 40 buses to run on the N2 Express routes. Volvo SA will also provide ancillary services such as training and maintenance.

N2 Express routes were expected to commence at the end of the year, linking Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain with the city centre.

Results may be announced during June.

Cape Town’s roll-out of MyCiti bus routes has been challenged in court by Golden Arrow Bus Services (GABS). An application by GABS to have the MyCiti service expansion halted was turned down by the Western Cape High Court. GABS wanted the city to enter into a mediation and arbitration process to resolve disputes over certain routes.

The High Court ruled compelling the authority to go through such a process would make it impossible to fulfil its mandate to integrate services into an overall public transport system.

He said GABS had submitted an application for leave to appeal against the judgment. “GABS is concerned about the precedent which will be set in the future rollout of the MyCiti services if the judgment handed down is upheld,” said Meyer.
