TRANSPORT MONTH LAUNCHED: MAYOR TROLLIP PRIORITISES COMMUTER SAFETY
IPTS ready to roll THANDI SETOKOE
N
ELSON Mandela Bay Executive Mayor, Athol Trollip, has said that the long-awaited Integrated Public Transport System (IPTS) will be launched at the end of the month. Trollip was speaking at the launch of Trans-
port Month outside the Cleary Park Shopping Centre last Tuesday. The postponement of the roll out date for the bus system followed several years of delays in getting the project off the ground. Speaking at the launch, the mayor said, “Transport Month is a time when we as service providers need to apply our minds on how we can make sure that people commute
safely because more and more people are commuting and fewer people are owning motor cars.” The first roll out would service the Cleary Park routes. The project would eventually expand to other parts of the city such as Motherwell, the Wells Estate route and Uitenhage. “The Njoli route is the next route that we have identified and we are making great
progress there with the taxi associations,” Trollip said. Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Roads and Transport Councillor Rano Kayser described the purpose of the IPTS as threefold – reliability, cost-effectiveness and safety.
