Denver van Aarde, chair of the Mitchell’s Plain Scholar Transport Association, says they have already reached out to 20 transport groups in areas across the Metro. “We have already reserved the name Western Cape Scholar Transport Board.”A meeting for interested parties is set to be held next week. “A lot of our drivers don’t even know if their vehicles fall within the year model where they can register to be scholar transport drivers,” he says. There is around 250 drivers in the Mitchell’s Plain area. These are those known through a WhatsApp group and not all of them belong to the Mitchell’s Plain Scholar Transport Association, says van Aarde.
