IRT Has Taxi Industry in a Fit

The Integrated Rapid Transit system planned for the Western Cape has sparked a major controversy between transport officials and the taxi industry. Further progress on the system could mean riots and violence from the taxi industry.

There is also no clear indication whether the first phase of the IRT system, the nucleus of the 2010 transport network, will be implemented in time for the World Cup. But the government says it is confident that the plan will go ahead.
