The major recommendations of the NDP are to improve public transport planning and integrate it with spatial planning. It also puts emphasis on asset management and institutional arrangements to ensure safe, reliable and affordable public transport and renewal of the commuter rail fleet. In this regard, the NDP accentuates the need to focus on the Gauteng-Durban Corridor for freight, incentivise public transport and focus on transport systems rather than modes. The need to invest massively in transport is recognised as is the need to carefully prioritise these investments.
