Ph.D. (Economics) / It has been noticed several times in the past that, in comparison with the development of the country as a whole, the economic development of the Western Cape proceeds at a slower rate. In this respect transport is quoted as being one of the major bottle-necks. The aim of this study is to ascertain the influence of transport on the economic development of the Western Cape, as it is determined by the geographical position of this region and the influence of the availability, cost and quality of transport on the competitive position of the industrial and trade sectors of the Western Cape. The contribution which transport can make towards the creation of employment for the fast-growing population (mainly the Colored population) of the Western Cape, has been kept in mind throughout the study.
