BRT update

I just got word of some rather sad news. It seems Joburg's inner-city BRT system has been marred by a few issues, prompting the city to temporarily stop service completely. They plan to address the issues and relaunch the service early next year.

Problems noted include:

* Due to the above two points, it is in fact quicker to walk to many destinations
* Ticket vendors not being widely available
* A lack of customers, mainly due to the above two points
