- 8. Transformation of existing operators •Replacement, formalization of minibus-taxi operators • Initially limited to competing services in corridor • 12-year negotiated bus operating contracts • Very slow and costly: – Existing services seen as “property rights” – compensation paid – PLUS premium paid for bus operating contract – (PLUS some continue operating anyway) 13 July 201810
- 9. ITS architecture • EMVstandard for fare card • Several costly mistakes in technology, user interaction (fare cards) • Now starting to integrate with other bus services • Technological mismatch between bus operators and bus control 13 July 201811
- 10. Changing BRT perspectives Lighter,more flexible infrastructure – City of Cape Town’s MyCiti Phase 2A • Construction estimates = 2x that of Phase 1 per km • Considering 23 of 53km trunk routes in mixed traffic • Considering 28 of 47 stations open design (median or curbside) • New routes low-floor, low-platform – City of Johannesburg’s Rea Vaya Phase 1C+ • Scale back dedicated trunk routes • Outer extensions to include more mixed traffic routes Greater role for paratransit as feeders (hybrid systems) Source: TDA, City of Cape Town; COJ

Editor's Notes
- #3 3 large formal systems: CT, (Phases 1A & 1B: 31.5km dedicated trunk, 108km mixed traffic trunk, 360km feeder) JHB , (Phases 1A and 1B: 43.5km of trunk services, 14.7 km of complementary bus services, and 75.8 km of feeder buses services ). COT, (Line 2A: 4.4km trunk, ~2km mixed trunk, ~20km feeder) 2 large systems coming on-line: Durban Ekurhuleni 2 failed/delayed (PE, RUST) Several more planned

- #5 Mostly on long-dist routes between townships and CBD.
- #6 Demand grows nicely, but problems: (a) still only about 60,000 pax/day, much lower than expected and needed for this kind of investment so it raises subsidies; (b) demand is volatile due to industrial action – points to larger problems in SA economy
- #7 Do not have latest numbers but general trend = concern with costs. Capital and operating costs significantly higher than expected. Effect = reduced ability to expand service, questions being asked. Capex: CPT R82m/km Phase 1 busways & statns; est R151m/km phase 2A Cost recovery been improving, but still between 30 & 40%
- #8 Factors contributing to under-performance. Related to choice of BRT corridors – not best suited to long-distance, low density township to CBD service.
- #9 Factors contributing to under-performance
- #10 Key imperatives are to expedite roll-out of better PT; figure out how to do more with available (and shrinking budget), Demonstrate that PT is delivering wider policy value, incl restructuring cities
- #12 Need systems approach to make it worthwhile
- #13 What should have been done differenelt?
