bookshelves, moving copies of MOBILITY magazine around and looking at the
photographs of TransMillenio in the latest issue. She's spent the last week
or so - like most other people in South Africa - watching news footage of
the country's first-ever BRT, Rea Vaya, which launched on 1 September. And
friends of hers who live in Soweto have told her that the bus service is
like nothing they've ever encountered before.
