dc.description.abstract |
Paper presented at the 23rd Annual Southern African Transport Conference 12 - 15 July 2004 "Getting recognition for the importance of transport", CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa. The way in which the users of a Public Transport Interchange (PTI) perceive their
environment is of the greatest importance in determining the ideal PTI. In order to gain
insight into the perceptions of PTI end-users, a survey was done by means of the descriptive
survey method and personal interviews.
The aforementioned end-users needed to be classified in distinct groups due to the fact that
each group has different perspectives and needs with regards to a PTI. These groups consisted
of passengers, transport operators, informal traders and formal traders.
Six destination PTIs with different socio-economic settings in Cape Town were chosen for the
survey. Destination PTIs were chosen because they are characterised by a higher
concentration and diversity of activities, which means that more can be learnt from them with
regards to the performance successes or failures of public transport interchanges.
A total of 1 696 respondents represented the sample population for this survey. These
comprised of 1 055 passengers, 289 transport operators, 203 informal traders and 149 formal
traders.
This paper will describe in detail the survey process that was followed; the numerous
obstacles encountered and highlight some unexpected findings. |
