Scientists from Stellenbosch University are reportedly studying a Strand minibus taxi observed overtaking traffic through spatial gaps previously believed impossible.
Witnesses say the taxi successfully navigated between two vehicles a pavement and what may have been another timeline during peak-hour traffic near the beachfront.
“It folded into reality differently” explained one shaken Somerset West motorist. “I cannot explain what I saw.”
Passengers inside the taxi however appeared entirely relaxed with several continuing conversations uninterrupted throughout the maneuver.
Traffic experts admit conventional road engineering cannot fully account for Strand taxi behaviour particularly during Friday afternoons and payday weekends.
One Gordon’s Bay resident described seeing the vehicle emerge from “an angle not available to normal citizens.”
Meanwhile the taxi driver reportedly remained focused solely on reaching the next robot before it changed.
A local physicist has suggested minibus taxis operate according to “advanced community-based quantum mechanics.”
At publication time another taxi had reportedly overtaken stationary traffic using what observers described as “confidence alone.”
