The MEC for Roads and Transport, the appointed representative in

BRT can be implemented on other routes where no form of transport is
available and furthermore that the consequence would be that its 1200
members would be without jobs.

attempt to give reasons for the decision to close all taxi routes and the
portion of the taxi ranks operated by WATA.
