Question NW534 to the Minister of Transport
10 April 2024 - NW534
Mhlongo, Ms N to ask the Minister of Transport
What form of transport does she envisage to alleviate the chronic suffering from high costs of private transport in rural villages around small towns such as Winterton in the foothills of the Drakensberg?
Reply:
The provision of public transport is guided by transport plans, which are developed and implemented by municipalities as planning authorities and not national. These transport plans are used to design the most efficient public transport mode for an area or within a network in order to provide an efficient service to commuters.
