The Western Cape community safety and transport MECs will hold an urgent meeting on Monday to discuss what action should be taken against SA Roadlink.
An SA Roadlink bus driver was caught driving under the influence of alcohol in Worcester on Saturday night.
The incident comes just days after two SA Roadlink busses were pulled off the road in George after they were declared unsafe. Western Cape Community Safety MEC Lennit Max said they are looking at what action can be taken against bus company SA Roadlink.
“We cannot allow somebody who is carrying 72 passengers on a bus from Cape Town to Johannesburg to be under the influence. That is a serious transgression,” Max said.
He adds the actions of the bus driver had put the lives of many people at risk.

Drunk driving is a bad thing yes there have been allot of cases
like this why is only roadlink the bad one. I personally think
Someone is sabotaging them. I don’t believe a wordy, they have done allot for me over the past few years. Why let so many people
loose their jobs without proper investigation. Rather see who is really behind this.

I’m not sure many learners who pass the driving test will be too concerned about whether their drive was eco friendly or not, they will be too happy that they passed!
