The report fails to appreciate that part of the reason transport, in particular public transport, is dysfunctional in this country is because we have failed to expropriate land without compensation and
re-imagine a new South Africa - a South Africa in which the distance between work and home is shortened. A distance between home and school is walking distance. A distance between home, church, shops and even a shortened distance between our homes and health facilities. What is to be done?
Firstly, we must establish a state construction company to build roads and stop relying on tenders.
Secondly, government must buy locally manufactured trains and buses to stimulate local industrialisation.
Thirdly, we must subsidise taxis to lower the price for customers and remove all unroadworthy taxis.
Lastly, as an intermediate intervention, we cannot separate transport from land. Thank you. [Time expired.]
