 There was a lot more activity than usual at the country's taxi ranks on Monday as commuters left stranded by an ongoing nationwide bus strike took taxis instead.

The SA Transport and Allied Workers' Union (Satawu) announced a nationwide strike last week, as a result of a deadlock in wage negotiations.

Workers are demanding an 18% increase in wages, while employers are offering 6.5%.

The AlgoaBus company in Port Elizabeth suspended its operations last week and the municipal bus service is also affected.
