  7. PUBLIC TRANSPORT The distribution of bus subsidies per province

  8. PUBLIC TRANSPORT:bus transport.. Risk Assessment with current budget :R1.8bil • Distribution of allocation of funds and services will remain within provinces as is • Leverage of transforming the bus industry , in as far as promoting SMMEs and BEE is limited • Regulated competition is restricted • Public Transport subsidy cannot be extended to cover those in dire need , currently out of the system

  9. PUBLIC TRANSPORT:bus transport.. *Relative total of bus passengers for the country is 860mil **Proportional distribution of these passengers per Province is: • Gauteng 22% • Eastern Cape 4% • Free State 6% • Kwazulu – Natal 22% • Mpumalanga 13% • Northern Cape 1% • Limpopo 11% • North West 13% • Western Cape 8% It should be noted that not all passengers are currently subsidised

  10. PUBLIC TRANSPORT bus transport.. • Need to address the distribution of subsidies to facilitate some movement towards equity • Basis for allocation should be reviewed • The National Land Transport Transition Act, 2000 ,is providing a premise for fundamental restructuring of public transport based on integrated transport plans • Government has contractual obligations currently extending from 1-5 years coming • Current Budget allocation does not provide room for growth

  12. PUBLIC TRANSPORT:Taxis.. • Electronic Management System ( EMS ) has become the key to unlock the process • Should there be agreement on EMS the Best And Final Offer ( BAFO ) process will begin targeted to take 6 – 10 weeks • The first NTV is expected to be supplied by first quarter of 2003. • The process is intended to recapitalise 126 000 taxis with government funding of about R4bil through a scrapping allowance. • The R4bil amount is not yet secured from the Treasury

  13. PUBLIC TRANSPORT: Taxis.. Key challenges • The Taxi industry seek empowerment • Current taxi ranks and multimodal facilities need in excess of R550mil for upgrading • Prioritisation of distribution of the NTV to be done in full consultation with the industry
