“…Source: (Research Findings, 2016) Low-density sprawl and fragmentation were (are) characteristic of the Gauteng region contributing to access constraints and temporal spatial structural disjuncture that comprises challenges that Gauteng province is grappling to resolve (SACN, 2014). Studies and research have shown that establishing transport authorities in regions like Gauteng province such as experiences from Netherlands and France can contribute to enhancing commuting (Moeinaddini et al, 2012;UITP, 2015).…”

“…15.1 % indicated that all open spaces should be developed so that fragmentation of land uses can be addressed. This would help to fight disconnected and fragmented space and trip making challenges in the study area (Moeinaddini et al, 2012;Chakwizira et al, 2014;SACN, 2014). 13.4% indicated that improving the metro rail services was critical since this is a mass mover of commuters.…”

This paper seeks to illustrate differentiated access and transport constraints faced by public transport commuters in Gauteng province, South Africa. Drawing from a one thousand five hundred and fifty (1550) randomized household sample conducted in Gauteng province, South Africa, different access strokes and constraints are discussed. In any case, these findings are benchmarked and analysed in the context of the national household travel survey (NHTS) 2013 findings that was conducted by the Department of Transport (DoT). The major findings highlight differentiated commuting access and transport constraints in Gauteng province. The analysis highlights the existing of differentiated access and transport constraints for public transport commuters in Gauteng province. The driving group has to deal with problems of traffic congestion, road rage, travelling time and travel delay among other issues. The public transport group in addition to long commuting distances, travelling times has to deal with low service levels, off-peak infrequent to non-existing service, crime as well as challenges associated with non-scheduled transport systems. There is therefore, differentiated access and transport problems for public transport users who make use of the three main different modes, namely train, bus and minibus taxis. Implementing a raft of integrated, smart, transit orientated development (ToD), appropriate land use, public transport policy and action measures has potential to relieve the different transport access strokes and constraints in the study area.

“…PRT has also been chosen as one of the modes of transportation in the world's first zero emission sustainable city project of Masdar City in United Arab Emirates (De Graff, 2011). Several researchers have recommended ways to reduce the share of private vehicle trips in cities (Moeinaddini et al, 2012;Kumar et al, 2013). PRT is also one of the potential solutions to this problem.…”

Potential of Personal Rapid Transit System to Meet the Urban Transport Deficit

There is a rapid increase in the use of personal modes of transport over public transport. In spite of tremendous efforts to promote public transport by the authorities; the personal mode users still prefer their own vehicles for transportation. The personal mode users resist the public transport for various reasons like comfort, waiting time, sense of privacy and access-egress trips. This study focuses on the access-egress trips and how Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) can be used to meet this deficit in the urban transportation system. PRT is an efficient rapid transit system which provides the last mile connectivity to the users with high level of reliability and comfort. It is a demand responsive system that ensures uninterrupted point to point journey between origin and destination. Dwarka, New Delhi, in India has been taken as the case study area to study how a PRT system effects the accessibility of public transport in an area. Primary and secondary data has been collected to understand the characteristics of the existing mass rapid transit system (Delhi Metro) and city bus services (DTC) in Dwarka. A PRT network of 18 km has been proposed in Dwarka which forms loops around the existing MRTS line and passes through the neighboring residential, commercial and institutional areas. Further, the impact of introducing this network on the accessibility levels in the area have been studied. The Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) methodology developed by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham has been adopted for calculation of Accessibility Index.

“…Since transport sector is one of the main contributors to GHG emissions in urban areas, mitigation measures are inescapable regarding climate-oriented studies (Moeinaddini et al, 2012). Beside this importance of mitigation concerning transportation, it must be emphasized that mitigation and adaptation measures inextricably connected in aiming to create comprehensive and future-oriented urban climate plans.…”
