The Executive Mayor of George, Charles Standers, together with national and provincial officials, local dignitaries and people with special needs celebrated the arrival of the first accessible GO GEORGE minibus this week.
A special unveiling ceremony was held at the George Civic Centre where guests were entertained by the skilled performance of the Carpe Diem Electric Dancers, a group of children from the Carpe Diem School for children with special needs.
The minibus is the first of its kind aimed at accommodating people with special needs, and has been designed to order by the George Integrated Public Transport Network (GIPTN).
"The rest of the order of 30 minibuses is still to come, but after it's unveiling on Wednesday, this first bus will in the meantime be used to train bus drivers," a statement said.
