TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN SEBOKENG-EVATON, LEKOA-VAAL REGION, SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa needs to give urgent attention to the development of efficient and cost effective public passenger transportation systems. An essential component of such systems is modal integration. Through a study sponsored by the French government, the Lekoa-Vaal region, and the Seboken-Evaton conurbation in particular, was identified as providing a suitable area to develop and pilot a multi-modal integrated transit system. The components of the proposed framework for the system are: an internal, high-density corridor; interchange nodes; and external services. At present, the links between Sebokeng-Evaton and other cities in the region are provided by minibus-taxis and subsidized bus operation. A pilot is being implemented that will enable these operations to be undertaken jointly by an integrated bus/minibus-taxi service
