The man on the bus

A man from New York came and said the BRT is world class.

There you have it. From an expert’s mouth. Walter Hook is a transport consultant from what is called the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy. A mouthful, but an expert who can compare Rea Vaya with other similar systems around the globe.

He also said the busses were very clean. That’s a nice compliment. Obviously the busses are still very new, but let’s hope they stay spotless and in good shape.

So Walter came to Jozi, took a BRT ride and smiled. And if a transport expert from the Big Apple smiles then that’s a welcoming smile. Thumbs up. Let’s keep it going and let’s roll it out further and further across the cities and into the townships and communities.
