The Transport

Development IndexThe Rubric for Integrated Transport in Cape Town

The TDI provides a rubric through which TCT, the City of Cape Town’s

transport authority, can evaluate the effectiveness of its transport

service delivery interventions . Four user groups are identified in the TDI

with access priority information per Transport Analysis Zone. It then

evolves into a competitive advantage component or mobility index.

Development Index

Population Distribution

Per Income Group

(Census Small Area: 2011)

As can be seen from the map of

Cape Town, the majority of the

population in the Low Income

bracket are located in far-flung

areas.

Access Priorities and

Priority Costs

Identifies the access

priorities of each User

Group and their

related costs.

Priorities may be

financial or non-

financial and

therefore the

interventions should

be different and

targeted towards

reducing the

identified priority cost.

The TDI has revealed that, contrary to the

original assumption of 80% , which the

City of Cape Town had been using for

over a decade, 95% of the public

transport user group is in the low to low-

medium income groups

Information being verified – no data for beyond the Cape Town boundary yet

Factual Highlights

• 95% of public transport users are in the low and low-

medium income groups

• The largest priority cost for the low-income user group is

the direct cost for public transport users who are in far-

flung areas. Otherwise the largest priority costs are

flexibility, safety and crime

• The average direct transport cost for the

low-income public transport user group is

45% of monthly household income, against the

internationally accepted norm of between

5 and 10%

What is an IPTN plan?

The IPTN plan determines the role of appropriate public transport modes to provide users of the system with optimal solutions to travel from origin to destination in a seamless and

most cost effective manner

Ensures the correct mode responds to the correct function to ensure maximum efficiency

Ensure viability and efficiency within the development of the City

Rail – Mass rapid transport across the Metropolitan area

BRT – Large volumes carried by dedicated bus ways

Feeder bus – Distribution and feeder service

Mini-bus taxi – on demand local service

Metered-taxi

NMT

Purpose of an IPTN

• Provides the long-term public transport network plan for the City

• Establish the role of each mode of transport• Rail• BRT• Scheduled Feeder bus• Mini-bus taxi

• Provide strategic direction for investment

• Shows commitment towards achieving an efficient and well-run city

IPTN for 2032

Proposed Rail Network

BRT Network

MyCiTi to date:

• 41.7 million passenger trips

• February 2016 : 1 707 790 passenger trips

• 67 035 weekday passengers

• 37 routes / 42 Stations / 600 bus stops

• 235 peak buses / 518 drivers

Towards a comprehensive CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME:

3 STREAMS:

• Infrastructure

• Operational

• Behavioural

CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

• Smart Growth Strategy: Coordinated Land Use & Transport Planning – TRANSIT ORIENTATED DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (TOD)

• Development & Promotion of Alternative Modes of Travel: Public Transport & Non-Motorised Transport

• Improvement of existing infrastructure: alleviate bottlenecks & improve capacity. Phase 1 underway – R750m capex allocation.

• Travel Demand Management: improve occupant efficiency / reduce number and/or length of trips / optimise use of available assets
