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.

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.

GAUTENG FREEWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND e-TOLLING
 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

SUBSIDISED PUBLIC TRANSPORT CONTRACTS
 Current position is not legally and financially sustainable
 Need for transformative change – empowerment/green transport/new
routes/ integration with other transport modes etc
 Agreement on principle of negotiated contracts
 Option for Municipalities to become Contracting Authorities
 Determination of process
 Question of subsidy for taxi industry?
