LEARNER TRANSPORT UPDATE – LENASIA COMMUNITY
Community Safety, law enforcement agencies, learner Transport Drivers and residents recently came together to address ongoing challenges affecting our operating areas in Lenasia. These include loud music, traffic congestion, littering etc.
As operators, we fully acknowledge these concerns and remain committed to improving discipline, safety, and respect within our communities. Our goal is to ensure a safe, clean, and reliable transport environment for all our learners.
However, it is important for the community to note:
The City of Johannesburg Infrastructure Department had proposed building a dedicated parking facility for learner transport operators in Lenasia. Funding had already been approved and space for this project. Unfortunately, the proposal was declined by local residents, resulting in the funds being returned to Treasury.
The lack of a designated parking space continues to contribute to congestion and other challenges in the area.
We believe that working together is the solution. We encourage ongoing dialogue between residents, transport operators, and the City to find a way forward that benefits everyone—especially our children.
Let’s work together to build a safer, cleaner, and more organised transport system for our learners.
