Tshwane bus services were disrupted on Tuesday morning due to a fuel shortage.

City of Tshwane spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said the city’s three fuel stations were empty due to non-delivery of fuel by its service providers.

“The City of Tshwane regrets to inform Tshwane Bus Services (TBS) commuters about the temporary suspension of bus operations with effect from Tuesday due to fuel shortages,” he said.

Mashego said it was not clear when normal operations would resume but the city was engaging with the service providers.
