Abstract:
Central to a well-functioning economy is the effective facilitation of the movement and
transport of people and goods. There is a positive correlation between efficiency,
accessibility, affordability of transport infrastructure, improved services, and economic
activity. Mobility options are integral for consumers to access education, healthcare and for
job seekers looking for employment. Increased efficient public transport systems facilitate
and make it easy for commuters to move from place to place.
Therefore, collectively as an industry and greater stakeholder community, we must
advocate for and seek to promote a narrative that supports government policy and
legislation that is pro the Bus Rapid Transit system. A system that makes socio-economic
sense particularly for an emerging economy like ours (South Africa)
