P 7: Public Transport Programme Objectives: Improve public transport access and reliability by developing and implementing integrated public transport networks in 13 cities and monitoring and evaluating progress on an ongoing basis. Ensure integrated and optimised public transport services by facilitating the development of integrated rapid public transport networks and feeder and distribution systems in 5 municipalities by 2014/15. Ensure efficient and effective public transport by establishing the National Public Transport Regulator as required by the National Land Transport Act (2009) by 2013/14. Develop and increase the equity ownership and broad based black empowerment (BEE) in the public transport sector through the implementation of the industry development model to empower taxi and small bus operators by establishing cooperatives and by coordinating skills development by 2014/15. Align and integrate the taxi recapitalisation programme with national and provincial rail services, metropolitan rapid public transport corridor services and provincial bus services by reviewing the taxi recapitalisation project by 2013/14 to assess its alignment with the public transport strategy. Ensure the improved scholar transport system by developing scholar transport norms and standards by 2013/14. 20

P 7: Public Transport Major Expenditure: The spending focus over the medium term will be on subsidising the construction of public transport infrastructure and the operations of public transport networks in Municipalities and Provinces. The Public Transport Infrastructure and Systems Grant to Municipalities will be separated to show its infrastructure and operational funding components, in order to improve transparency and provide certainty to Municipalities regarding long term operational funding. A new grant, a Public Transport Network Operations Grant, was introduced for operational funding of public transport infrastructure in Municipalities. Two cities, Cape Town and Johannesburg, which are already operating systems funded by the public transport infrastructure and systems grant, will continue to expand their systems and transport more passengers every year. The Rea Vaya in Johannesburg is expected to increase the average number of weekday bus rapid transit passengers from 36, 000 in 2011/12 to 150, 000 by 2015/16 and the My. CITI in Cape Town from 22, 000 to 112, 000. Nelson Mandela Bay, Tshwane, George and Rustenburg are expected to start operations over the medium term. 21

P 7: Public Transport Major Expenditure (Continued): Major projects include: • Finalising the Scholar Transport Policy • Developing Scholar Transport Safety Standards and Operations Guidelines • Implementing the Rural Mobility Transportation Programme • Assisting 3 cities with completing the first phase of their integrated Rapid Public Transport Network suites of plans, as well as their infrastructure designs • The programme will support the devolution of public transport contracting and regulating function to metropolitan cities, which will see the Provincial Public Transport Operations Grant and the national Metrorail subsidies devolved to cities • The amounts transferred to taxi owners for scrapping their taxis depend on the number of taxis scrapped per year. As a result, spending on this item varies from 2009/10 to 2012/13 while it grows in line with inflation over the medium term. The number of taxis scrapped per year is around 7, 000, which is expected to remain stable over the medium term. The scrapping of taxis will continue until the Public Transport Strategy can be implemented to incorporate taxis within the subsidy fold for road based public transport subsidies 22
