The City is once again celebrating Transport Month this October by asking residents what they think about public transport – including infrastructure and services. The objective is to better understand the general experience of public transport users in Cape Town so as to better inform the development of the City’s 2012 – 2016 Integrated Transport plan.
This plan guides the expansion and maintenance of all transport systems and infrastructure for which the City is responsible.
On a weekly basis, residents can comment on the following:
- The issue and challenges of implementing and managing ‘dedicated lanes’ for public transport (3 – 7 October)
- Public transport infrastructure (such as Park-and-Rides and public transport interchanges) and services (including bus, train and taxi operations). (10 – 15 October)
- Services and inter-institutional co-operation (17 – 21 October)
- Lessons learned from members of the public as well as ideas for the future (24 – 28 October)
Transport Month provides a unique forum for residents to engage with the City on important public transport issues. Staff are encouraged to provide their feedback and consider the various environmental, social and economic implications of the use of a private vehicle versus public transport.
Further details about the submission of comments will be made available shortly.
