From the pictures I saw, the bus that was torched was Golden Arrow, but that is by the way. For more than 30 years the taxi industry has worked tirelessly to undermine their competitors, destroy rail and road transport infrastructure, commit acts of violence against men and women whose only crime was working for the opposition, and intimidate and cow commuters into only using their services. All in order to establish a monopoly by the most lawless, reckless public transport system that ever hijacked the roads. This myth of the apartheid government depriving the people of efficient public transport to and from the townships, and the knights in minibus taxis coming to the rescue, is a fairy tale concocted to obscure the vicious truth behind this unholy "service". They might have been invaluable to people living in remote areas, but they made quite sure they were the only game in town. Buses and trains torched, drivers murdered, of course they took over the roads - then and now.
