The Gauteng Province is introducing another railway system in South Africa. It is an 80-kilometre Mass Rapid Transit railway system. It is hoped to offer commuters an alternative public transport in addition to the current. The study uses a quantitative approach where a questionnaire was distributed. A snowball sample of 156 people around Gauteng was used to: - recognize the importance or value of outlining the possible impact on traffic during the redevelopment of the passenger railway systems; - examine the perception of the sample size with regard to the proposed Gautrain; - investigate whether respondents will use the train to work or to the airport; - find out what respondent’s expectations are on using the Gautrain; - whether respondents think there will be an economic benefit to them; - what respondents think about the time that they will save using the train; - what respondents think about their safety in and around the trains. According to respondents it is important for passengers to have efficient and reliable public transport. Respondents have confidence in the proposed Gautrain project. Most respondents agree that the community will benefit economically from the project and are positive that the Gautrain will improve the quality of life for the people in Gauteng. The majority of the respondents also agree that Gautrain will be a safe mode of transport to use. This study focuses on the mass redevelopment of the South African passenger transport system which seeks to improve the sector. It is therefore recommended that South African Transport be redeveloped by introducing alternative modes of transport like the proposed Gautrain. / Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2009.

This thesis describes the work done in the second stage of the implementation of the Automatic Passenger Counter (APC) system at the Roanoke Valley - Metro Transit Company. This second stage deals with the preparation of a few reports and plots that would help the transit managers in efficiently managing the transit system. The reports and plots give an evaluation of the system and service operations by which the decision makers can support their decisions. For an efficient management of the transit system, data on ridership activity, running times schedule information, and fare revenue is required. From this data it is possible to produce management information reports and summary statistics. The present data collection program at Roanoke Valley Metro is carried by using checkers and supervisors to collect ridership and schedule adherence information using manual methods. The information needed for efficient management of transit operations is both difficult and expensive to obtain. The new APC system offers the management with a new and powerful tool that will enhance their capability to make better decisions when allocating the service needs. The data from the APC are essential for the transit properties' ongoing planning and scheduling activities. The management could easily quantify the service demands on a route or for the whole system as desired by the user. / Master of Science
