A taxi driver was arrested on the N4 highway outside Zeerust after cramming 40 passengers into a 22-seater minibus, the North West community safety department said on Friday.<\/p>\n

The driver was pulled over by traffic officers and locked up at the Zeerust police station, spokesman Lesiba Kgwele said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was granted R500 bail and warned to appear in court on February 9 next year,\u201d Kgwele said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a disregard for passenger safety and we are shocked that commuters allow themselves to be packed like sardines in public transport vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said public transport operators should not allow themselves to be overcome by greed at the expense of passenger safety. – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
