Gauteng wants one transport
Transport industry guests gathered yesterday to map a way for the formation of an authority that would eliminate fragmentation in the province's system.
One major agreement among delegates was that the minibus taxi industry should play a significant role in the new entity. Premier David Makhura said the new authority would help redefine the role of the taxi industry and enable the sector to provide a more business-oriented service. "Bringing the industry into the mainstream is going to require them to rethink their model. They have to rethink what it means to operate a transport business."
At present taxis transport over 60% of people using public transport in the province.
Transport MEC Ismail Vadi wants a minibus taxi industry that can provide a measurable service. "The taxi industry can professionalise operations by changing driver behaviour. Once the transport authority has been established we will have more coordinated enforcement," Vadi said.
