13. Transport<br />
The transport questions focus primarily on the use of public and/or state-subsidised transport, the cost of<br />
transport to <strong>household</strong>s and the types of transport and time needed to travel to work, school and health<br />
facilities. Figure 35 shows that 49,3% of <strong>South</strong> <strong>Africa</strong>n <strong>household</strong>s had at least one <strong>household</strong> member<br />
who used a minibus taxi/sedan taxi/bakkie taxi during the week preceding the <strong>survey</strong>. Provinces with the<br />
highest levels of use of minibus taxis were: North West (45,5%), Gauteng (42,1%), Mpumalanga (41,2%)<br />
and KwaZulu-Natal (40,9%). By comparison, only 6,9% of <strong>South</strong> <strong>Africa</strong>n <strong>household</strong>s used a bus during the<br />
preceding week. It is notable that 20,6% of <strong>household</strong>s in Mpumalanga used the bus. The use of trains was<br />
most common in Western Cape.<br />
