The effect of an efficient public transport system on poverty: lessons for Johannesburg from Bogota

Description

This research explores the relationship between poverty and the availability and use of
an efficient public transport system. This is done by examining other third word cities,
with particular reference to Bogotá (Colombia), which incorporated public transport
in their transportation systems. The research concludes by pointing out lessons for
Johannesburg that wants to implement a Bus Rapid Transit System and lower its
poverty levels.
