Welcome to Yarona Rustenburg
Cllr Sheila Mabale-Huma-The Executive Mayor
Yarona is an important part of the City’s Integrated Public Transport System (IPTS). It aims to provide a high-quality transport service in line with the National Transport Act. The system will integrate different forms of public transport across the municipality. With our Yarona Rustenburg public buses, commuters will have a scheduled system, providing easy access to educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and employment centres.
About Yarona
The city is taking giant leaps to introduce the Rustenburg integrated public transport system
Yarona Rustenburg is a catalyst for urban transport reform in Rustenburg and is poised to improve operational efficiency for the business community, education, and the general traveller by encouraging modal shift from private motorised vehicles to public transport. Passengers’ journey will be much quicker because bus rapid transit enjoys dedicated bus-only lanes. An added advantage of the service is the universal accessibility of the service which allows for level boarding between stations and buses and thus easily accessible to individuals with limited mobility.
