PUBLIC TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR

ETHEKWINI

Imagine

• A City with 85% of all residents with access to safe, affordable and quality scheduled public transport

• A City optimizing opportunities for densification, mixed-use and transit oriented development to reduce need for travel, and promote the emergence of a post apartheid city

• A City riding a wave of an architectural revolution, which will power urban renewal and revitalization of run-down areas

• A City which will create over 30 000 job opportunities, and transform MBT and small bus operators into model business entities as part of its public transport improvement program
