Mc Lachlan, N.
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)
This paper questions the “official view” that the paratransit sector is inherently part of a vicious cycle and puts an “alternative view” namely that the paratransit sector is an integral part of the urban mobility system ...

Labuschagne, F.J.J. (Kobus); De Beer, E.; Roux, D.; Venter, K.
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)
The ‘total cost of road traffic crashes’ metric is an important road safety indicator that serves as the departure point for understanding the extent and magnitude of the road safety problem in a country and the stifling ...
