17 FREIGHT RAIL DEVELOPMENT

The Rail Market Share for freight has shrunk substantially over the past 2 decades - from about 36% to under 8%.

Certain goods and freight commodities, especially containerised freight, is ideal for rail freight, particularly crossing the main areas of Gauteng where the roads are heavily congested.

The City Deep container port is heavily congested, and road links are inadequate to handle traffic – roads being upgraded currently.

A number of additional major hubs are being planned for Gauteng.

21 5. BUS RAPID TRANSIT

All 3 Metropolitan Municipalities are at different phases in the roll out of Bus Rapid Transit Systems

Johannesburg – Rea Vaya (4 phases) Tshwane – Are Yeng (3 phases) Ekurhuleni – Aerobus? (7 phases)

22 JOHANNESBURG - REA VAYA

• Joburg has invested heavily in developing and improving its public transport system. The introduction of the country’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, linked to the Gautrain and the Metrobus, holds tremendous potential for integrating what has historically been a fragmented city.

• The City of Johannesburg provides two forms of bus services, namely, Metrobus (457 busses) and Rea Vaya Phase 1A(143 busses). On a daily basis, Metrobus transports 75 000 passengers and Rea Vaya Phase 1A moves 40 000 passengers.

• Rea Vaya Phase 1B was launched in October 2013 and has quickly developed a strong ridership.

23

REA VAYA - Phase 1A

Gradual implementation August 2009 to 1 February 2011

41 articulated buses and 102 standard buses in operation

25.5 km of dedicated routes 75.8 km of feeders and

complementary routes 30 stations in operation Average weekday

passenger trips before strike was 40 000 - over 1 million passengers per month

Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) was launched by the SANRAL to improve road network in Gauteng. GFIP is the single largest national road project taken up by government in more than 20 years costing R20bn. Address traffic congestion in Gauteng - remove bottlenecks at interchanges by widening freeways to four lanes and construction of new freeways. Construction of new bridges and rebuilding several existing bridges. Based on the “user-pay” principle using electronic tolling. To date, 200km out of 561km of the freeway has been upgraded. Experiencing teething problems in terms of operations
