PUTCO began manufacturing special access buses in 2002. They are designed and operated in consultation with organisations that work with people with disabilities. It has a bad record regarding road safety. Numerous times it has been compelled to check all its vehicles for roadworthiness. PUTCO was involved in various fatal accidents on the Moloto road near Kameeldrift. It has entered into a Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) deal, which afforded Black African's meaningful participation in the transport industry. PUTCO is now 42.6% Black African owned, 11% of whom are women. (en)
