Operational issues, infrastructure and facilities, costs, institutional and management, and monitoring and review constitute the focus areas with regards to transport for people w ith special needs. (d) Outputs SDM w ill ensure the user friendliness of new and existing public transport facilities in terms of providing for people w ith special needs. SDM w ill use various forums and institutional structures to encourage public transport operators to be sensitive and considerate to people w ith special needs. SDM w ill invite representatives of people w ith special needs to participate in relevant forums by voicing their transport needs and concerns. 8.3.7 Management of Public Transport Facilities (a) Background The mini-bus taxis operate from taxi ranks w here passengers embark for various destinations. The ranks consist of loading, ablution and shopping facilities. The loading facilities include shelters, pavement and seating. The ablution facilities are the most important element of the rank as regards maintenance, because they could easily get out of control if not managed w ell. Shopping facilities can be divided into three main categories, namely places for informal traders, kiosks and shopping units. These are all business opportunities arising from the activities at taxi ranks. Had it not been for the taxi associations that provide transport, there would have been no w ork for informal traders. Trading is conducted along the access roads to the taxi rank and also inside the rank. (b) Problem Statement <strong>Sedibeng</strong> currently has no policy on the management and maintenance of public transport facilities. (c) Strategy The follow ing are examples of the most common w ays to manage taxi-related facilities: • The local authority takes responsibility for everything at the facilities.In this case, municipal cleaners clean the ranks and ablution facilities and even provide the chemicals and toilet paper. • The facility is on private property and the private organisation is responsible for the management and maintenance of the facility. • A management body is formed or registered, for example a Section 21 Company consisting of all the parties involved at the rank. Such a body appoints or creates a management structure and is wholly responsible for the management and maintenance of the facilities. • The establishment of a joint venture between the local authority and the taxi industry w here responsibilities are shared. The joint venture is based on a cooperation agreement betw een the controlling taxi association and the authority. (SDM prefers this management option/structure.) SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 128 31 Aug 2010
Each of these examples has advantages and disadvantages. Before deciding on a management structure, the question to be answ ered is w hether the facilities w ill be managed properly. Such management should preferably be achieved w ithout additional cost to the municipality that is the custodian of the facilities, and w ithout creating tension and pow er struggles betw een the parties traditionally present at a taxi-related facility. The main principles to be taken into account in developing a management system for the taxi related facilities are: • Avoid creating a new structure to take responsibility for the management and maintenance of the taxi-related facilities, because such structures need financial support. • Allow the taxi industry to play an important role in the management of the rank because they create the business for the informal traders and other shop ow ners and they already manage the taxi operations through the queue marshals and rank marshals. • Empow er members of the taxi association by giving them the opportunity to develop as managers of the business opportunity. • Keep the taxi association interested and committed by allow ing its members to share in the income generated at the rank. • Keep the taxi association effective by having it deposit a sum of money w ith the local municipality to be used if the association does not fulfil its responsibilities as stipulated in the co-operation agreement. • All taxi associations operating at the rank or ranks should sign an operational agreement w ith the controlling association, stipulating that they and their members and drivers w ill adhere to the rules of the rank and contribute tow ards the cleaning of the rank. A rank maintenance and management policy w ill centreon the co-operation agreement betw een the municipality / ow ner and the taxi industry. The basis for the co-operation agreement is that the authority, w hich happens to be the ow ner of the land and property, allows the taxi industry to use the taxi rank and facilities to provide transport. The authority w ill do the structural maintenance and the taxi industry w ill do the day-to-day maintenance and management of the rank and facilities in return for part of the income derived from renting out the haw kers' sites and business sites on the property. It is important to monitor the performance of the functions assigned to different parties in terms of the agreement. There is a need to monitor the balance betw een demand and supply at the different ranks as input into amongst other things allocating bays. Such comparisons ought to be done at regular intervals. Some kinds of information w ould have to be collected more often than other kinds of information. It w ould be a great advantage if local people w ho work at the ranks, e.g. the queue or rank marshals, could do the counts and monitoring. Such people could be trained to do the surveys. The collected information w ould then have to be entered into the database of the SDM to form part of the public transport status quo information. The type of information to be collected could include the queue lengths of vehicles and passengers for each destination, waiting times for taxis and passengers, and perceptions of passengers. (d) Outputs SDM w ill develop a policy on the management and maintenance of mini-bus tax i facilities, w here after a by-law w ill be drafted to enforce such a policy.
