Cape Town - The MyCiTi bus service in Cape Town remains suspended until further notice and commuters should expect heavy traffic on the roads, the city warned on Sunday.

"The nationwide strike action affecting the South African bus industry is continuing," mayoral committee member for transport and urban development Brett Herron said.

It was unclear when the strike action, which was the result of deadlocked wage negotiations, would come to an end. Those making use of road-based transport should expect heavy traffic and longer travelling times for as long as the strike continued, in particular at the start of a new work week, he said.

The lock-out instituted by the vehicle operating companies operating the MyCiTi service would thus remain in place until further notice. Regretfully, this meant that there would be no MyCiTi trunk or feeder services available for as long as the strike and lock-out continued.
