The driver had stopped to take a break and no passengers were inside the bus at the time,\u201d Layne said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">The blaze was extinguished within a few minutes after arrival.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">Captain Nopaya Madyibi, Milnerton police spokesperson, said a case of malicious damage to property was registered.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cThe bus was stationary at Victoria Street in Summer Greens with only the driver inside it. It is alleged that the bus driver caught the scent of petrol, but when he checked the bus, it was already on fire.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">She confirmed that unknown people had poured petrol near the bus before setting it alight.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">No-one has yet been arrested.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>On Tuesday 6 November a bus was also set alight.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">At the time Madyibi said that a MyCiTi bus driver was waiting for passengers at the Omuramba bus station when two unknown men wearing balaclavas approached the bus. One of the suspects poured petrol inside the bus, and the other set it alight, Madyibi explained.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>No-one was injured and no arrests have yet been made. The matter is still under investigation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>The City of Cape Town said bus drivers who have embarked on a wildcat strike are not employed by the City but by the vehicle operating companies (VOCs) contracted by the City to operate the MyCiTi routes. \u201cThe City has entered into a 12-year agreement with the VOCs and we cannot simply insource or poach the employees of contractors with whom we have multi-year commitments,\u201d the City said in a statement released earlier.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lastline\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u2009<strong><em>What is your opinion on this article?
