National legislation is placing or encouraging more and specific responsibilities on Cities as regards the planning of integrated public transport networks and the provision of municipal public transport services. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the progress and conclusions of the various processes in the City of Cape Town to meet the challenges it is bringing. It has resulted in a Council recommendation for an appropriate mechanism for the provision of municipal public transport services and draft proposals for other institutional structures to be developed.
