35Integrated-ticketing and information services, as well as integrated schedules,will be essential between the rail service and the public transportfeeder/distribution services.Depending on the percentage of infrequent (i.e. business people, socialtravellers and tourists) travelling customers and the costs related to providingsuch services (or profit to be made from), attention should be given toproviding the following at all or certain stations, probably through qualitycontrolled concessions:• Metered taxi services,• Dial-and-ride services, and• Car hire.Given the profile of the potential customers, park-and-ride facilities will have tobe provided at most if not at all stations. This must include integrated pricingbetween parking prices and fares. The operations of park-and-ride facilitiesmay also be contracted out by the SDI Rail Link management.Surrounding land uses to stations must be such that it reducefeeder/distribution requirements over time and optimise walking access to therail system.4.8 TECHNOLOGYThe technology to be utilised on the proposed rail network will have to beaimed at achieving firstly the project objectives, but also the specifications intravel times and passenger comfort levels.From a fundamental viewpoint, the technology to be used will comprise themost appropriate modern but tested technology that would result in asustainable and effective system from a life-cycle cost perspective.4.9 SAFETY AND SECURITYIt is important that the necessary actions are taken to positively influence thepassenger’s perception of commuter rail as a safe and secure transportmode.Gauteng SDI Rail Link – Inception Report, 15 June 2000
36Some of the considerations to be taken into account, includes• Target market perceptions• Communication and public liaison• Safe design of system;- Ticketing- Rolling stock- Stations and Station precinct- ParkingPlanning and design principles and specifications will have to bedeveloped.Costing implications will have to be determined.4.10 LIGHT FREIGHTThe Gauteng SDI Rail Link will not accommodate any of the Spoornet freighttrains. However, an investigation will be done on the conveyance of parcelsand containerised high-value goods.If appropriate, off-peak trains with such freight may be accommodated.However the focus will remain on public passenger services, and freightservices will only be allowed if beneficial from a life-cycle-cost perspective,and if no negative impacts are experienced on the passenger services.The study will consider the needs of passenger luggage on the Airport Linkelements of this project.Gauteng SDI Rail Link – Inception Report, 15 June 2000
