5.6.7 Individual Routes Evaluation The area to area corridor analysis provided a good overview of service utilisation throughout the Municipality but it was not detailed enough to consider applications for route licences. The OLS therefore evaluated each individual route giving comments and recommendations for each. In respect of the taxi industry overtrading was evident, therefore recommendations only supported the issuing of new licences in proven cases of shortage of capacity on a particular route. Of the 1064 taxi routes with survey data, only 103 were possibly eligible for additional licences, depending on available rank capacity. In respect of the possible use of larger vehicles, 144 routes had volumes appropriate for 35 seaters and 15 for standard buses. Currently five bus contracts cover roughly two thirds of all bus services and their peak hour utilisation is slightly better than all services; utilisation of non-contract services being 70%. The number of peak hour trips per contracted route however averages a low 1.85 which reflects a low frequency of service. For this reason, many routes would be better served by 35 Seaters and even 18 Seaters, to provide better frequency for passengers. Based on the analysis of contract and non-contract bus service, the following table shows the number of routes where alternative lower capacity modes are justifiable for a better service to passengers and/or additional licences could be warranted.

The largest number of peak hour passengers on any one service is 7000, from Umlazi to Durban in the morning peak. Even so, average utilisation on this route is only half of capacity. Only 3 other routes with more than one train have utilisations over 50%. Clearly this highlights the need for the various public transport modal, system and support strategies to support rail in strategically located parts of a fully integrated system. 23 10 Minibus taxi evaluation Bus evaluation
5.7 Public Transport Implementation Strategy 5.7.1 Roll Out Context The following public transport implementation strategy is documented within the context of modal strategies and key aspects of the Public Transport Plan (PTP). In effect, it catalogues the recommended initiatives and projects forming part of the PTP. The following figure gives a broad context to the roll-out of the long term restructured public transport system for the eThekwini Municipal area. Figure 5.4: Roll-Out Strategy for the eThekwini Public Transport system Rail system & service upgrade Legalisation and regulation of minibus taxi industry Regulation of unsubsidised bus operations & introd of commercial bus/taxi contracts System/service restructuring in ‘Other Areas’ based on local area plans integrated with detailed spatial plans System & service restructuring in ‘North-South Public Transport Corridor’ FULLY INTEGRATED RESTRUCTURED METRO PT SYSTEM For the public transport plan to be properly integrated with the full range of land use development strategies, the development of such strategies should run concurrently. The Spatial Development Framework (SDF) which interprets the development strategies in geographic terms also provides the framework for the preparation of detailed local area spatial plans. As these plans are being developed, local area public transport plans can also be prepared and integrated as part of a parallel process. The following sections identify the range of strategies that comprise the eThekwini Public Transport Plan. Each of these is described in some detail in the main report.
