Cabinet has re-affirmed government's commitment to build an integrated public transport system for the benefit of all South Africans, spokesperson Themba Maseko said on Thursday.

Government would continue to work with all stakeholders on the Bus Rapid Transit programme which would provide access to fast, regular, high quality, safe, affordable and reliable public transport, he told a media briefing on the outcomes of Wednesday's Cabinet meeting.

Recent reports on the reaction of some taxi associations to the introduction of the BRT system had created the wrong impression that there was widespread resistance to the initiative.

"On the contrary, the majority of South Africans want a better and more improved public transport system that they deserve," Maseko said.
