The eThekwini Transport Authority has budget R39 million from the Public Transport Network Grant to refurbish the existing Durban Transport bus depots in Ntuzuma and Umlazi. Part of the exterior office roof collapsed at the depot in Durban.

The eThekwini Transport Authority (ETA) has budgeted R39 million from the Public Transport Network Grant (PTNG) to refurbish the existing Durban Transport bus depots at Ntuzuma and Umlazi to be used for the GO! Durban operations.

Motorists passing the Durban Transport depot in Durban along Johannes Nkosi Street (formerly known as Alice Street) have noticed that part of the exterior office roof has collapsed. The municipality has not yet highlighted the state of the other depots.

The ETA is awaiting approval at Friday's council meeting for the reprioritisation of the 2025/26 capital budget of the PTNG.

The ETA, in its report to the eThekwini Executive Committee (Exco) on Tuesday, stated that the GO! Durban programme remains a key strategic intervention for transforming the municipality’s public transport system and improving mobility for residents of eThekwini.
