Commuters were stranded for two weeks. Operators and passengers boycotted the bus service as a result of the labour dispute. 


Areas such as Sanguye and KwaBiyela were the worst affected. Transport's Mluleki Mntungwa says they remain committed to sorting out the problem.


"We want to urge the bus operators and commuters to work with the department to ensure that bus operations run smoothly. As the department - our doors will remain open, to ensure that any challenges will be attended to as speedily as possible," he says.
