Tshwane Bus Service (TBS) operations have returned to normal, the City of Tshwane announced Tuesday afternoon.
The City of Tshwane said it was, “delighted to announce that TBS operations have returned to full capacity today following the delivery of fuel which grounded almost half the fleet since yesterday afternoon”.
A statement issued by the City’s communication, marketing and events department added: “The city’s fleet experienced a shortage of diesel yesterday and the service provider undertook to deliver last night, however, delivery could not be done due to some logistical glitches.
“This morning, at around 11 am, the first truck arrived at the TBS depot to deliver diesel.
“More than 70 buses have already filled up while others are currently queuing to fill up.”
Before the supplies arrived, the City said it used a different service provider, Engen Filling Station, in Pretoria West, to replenish its fleet with fuel.
“Tshwane wishes to apologise, once again, to its valued commuters for the inconvenience caused,” the statement said.
