FLASH!! FLASH!! FLASH!!

NEW HIGH-TECH BUS FOR IMPAIRED PASSENGERS

Don’t be surprised to see a totally new design of bus operating in the city.

It’s a high-tech experimental bus developed by Scania in response to a study by the City of Cape Town Council which showed that there are 700 000 potential customers for a bus catering for the needs of passengers with impairments.

Significantly, the City of Cape Town Council is the first in South Africa to introduce a bus service for special needs passengers.

Come to the Council’s launch of the new bus and hear what the experts have to say about it - and bring a camera if you are in television or the printed media. The bus will be on display and a promotional ride will included for guests and the media.

You won’t be disappointed!!
