JOHANNESBURG - The City of Joburg has lost a grant of over R300-million.
It was meant for the expansion of the Rea Vaya bus system.
But the service is struggling with compliance and poor passenger numbers.
The Automobile Association says this is a blow to commuters who rely on public transport.
The AA's Eleanor Mavimbela said the grant was forfeited because the city wasn't meeting grant requirements.
"For us, it's quite concerning losing such a significant grant for the public transport system that was fortunately assisting thousands of people with commuting to the City of Johannesburg every single day," she said.
