All Tshwane bus services have been grounded due to a fuel shortage.
Since Tuesday, bus service depots were reported to have run out of fuel.
This led to a substantially reduced number of buses on the road and widespread disruptions to scheduled trips.

Tshwane Roads and Transport MMC Tlangi Mogale said she was at the bus service depot.
Mogale apologised for the inconvenience caused to commuters.
“Unfortunately, we were unable to continue with our operations this morning, and we want to apologise for any challenges that this may have caused [to passengers.]”
She said all bus operations would resume on Wednesday afternoon.
“The first delivery at 10 am will be at the C de Wet Depot, which runs the biggest shifts of 102. It will be followed by Jan Niamand Depot and then Pretoria North. This delivery will be for the full capacity, and we will be back to full bus operations for the afternoon and throughout the week,” Mogale said.
