The focus of the PTP is to integrate the public FUTURE “Provide safe, reliable, effective, efficient and fully integrated
transport network, services and modes and to provide PT SYSTEM transport operations and infrastructure which will best meet
the basis for rationalising and, if necessary, the needs of freight and passenger customers at improving
restructuring the public transport system, designing
public transport operating contracts for contracted levels of service and cost, in a fashion which supports
services and allocating operating licences for both government strategies for economic and social development
contracted and non-contracted services. whilst being environmentally and economically sustainable.”

The Plan Overall Network Design:
Chapter 5 : The Overall Network Key Components

The 2040 Public Transport Network comprises

of the following components:

i. IPTN Trunk Corridors (Road)– C1, C1B, C5, C6, C6A and C8
Corridors

ii. IPTN Trunk Corridor (Rail), associated branch lines – C2 Corridor
iii. Outer Ring Feeder Routes to support the relevant Trunk Corridors
iv. Inner City Distribution System (from 3 People Mover routes to 8 ICDS

Routes and ultimately to a TRAM or Light Rail System)
v. Dedicated non-motorised transport Network – both for pedestrians

and cyclists
vi. Major public transport facilities at Warwick Node and Central CBD

The Plan Overall Network Design:
Chapter 5 : The Overall Network Key Components

IPTN Corridors The trunk corridors provide the primary
public transport for commuters to connect
from outside of the study area to and
within the study area. The corridors
terminate at the Major Public Transport
Hub referred to as the Central Facility in
the CBD and passes through the Major
Warwick Node, where the Berea Rail
Station will be integrated with a new PT
facility for the IPTN corridors.

The Plan Overall Network Design:
Chapter 5 : The Overall Network Key Components

Outer Ring Feeders The Outer Ring Area will be serviced by a
feeder network that links the respective
trunk corridors with surrounding areas.
The feeder service fleet will make use of
mixed traffic lanes with standard public
transport stops with shelters. These stops
will generally be spaced at approximately
400m intervals.

The Plan Overall Network Design:
Chapter 5 : The Overall Network Key Components

Inner City Distribution System (ICDS)

To further support the Inner City, there will
be eight (8) bus routes connecting the
Central Facility across the Inner City
referred to as the Inner City Distribution
Service (ICDS). This service will be an
extension of the 3 current People Mover

routes and will operate in mixed traffic with
bus stops at approximately 400m spacing.
The ICDS Network interacts with both the

Warwick Node and the Central Facility.

The Plan Overall Network Design:
Chapter 5 : The Overall Network Key Components

TRAM System To support this vision, a Public Transport
System in the Inner City will be required to

ensure fast, reliable and convenient
movement of people that also creates a
positive perception of public transport (i.e.

a tram system). The proposed Tram
Network has been strategically identified
on corridors that will see an expansion of
mixed use development within a 500m

distance of the Tram network.

The Plan Overall Network Design:
Chapter 5 : The Overall Network Key Components

Non-Motorised Transport

The Inner City and Outer Ring Public
Transport Plan aligns with the concept of a
Walkable City, where NMT corridors have
been proposed along major feeder routes

within the study area. The NMT network
promotes the concept of walking/cycling to

a BRT station or feeder stop

The Plan Overall Network Design:
Chapter 5 : The Overall Network Key Components

Public Transport Facilities

There will be two (2) Major Public
Transport Facilities namely Warwick and
Central. The Central facility will be the
major transport hub in the Inner City while

the Warwick facility will be a support
facility just outside the Inner City

supporting the Outer Ring area and
beyond.

• These services are fully subsidised and learners do not contribute towards the cost of the
services. The total cost of these contracts per annum is R14 532 273.00 (2017 excluding
penalties), to operate approximately 235 754 vehicle kilometres of service and transport
approximately 1 650 learners per day.

• Table 6 2 lists all Learner Transport Services in the Province. A total fleet of 33 rigid bus and 2
minibus taxis operate 70 scheduled services per day to transport 1,649 learners to and from
school. Figure 6 2 illustrates these routes spatially within the City.

• Dube Trade Port (DTP)

• Dube Trade Port/ King Shaka Airport is a rapidly developing commercial and industrial zone and
has a strong demand for public transport services. There aren’t any formal public transport
services to DTP currently. A study undertaken by the ETA identified four major origins of a trip to
DTP and four corresponding routes i.e.:

• Tongaat (2,303 passengers per day, 433 peak hour demand).
• Verulam (2,303 passengers per day, 433 peak hour demand).
• Umdloti (659 passengers per day, 124 peak hour demand).
• South (Durban International Airport) (1,317 passengers per day, 248 peak

hour demand).

• Routes from these origins terminate at a public transport facility within DTP. Feeder services
then facilitate distribution of trips to:

 Trade Zone (945 passengers per day, 205 peak hour demand).
 King Shaka International Airport (4,853 passengers per day, 824 peak hour

demand).
 Agri Zone & Dube City (830 passengers per day, 208 peak hour demand).

the short, medium and long term.
Three major routes have been identified to
serve the development in the short term i.e.
Routes between Cornubia and Bridge City
Intermodal Terminal, Umhlanga Taxi Rank and
Verulam Taxi Rank. Routes following a circular
routing within Cornubia will eliminate the need
for further distribution services. The short-term
implementation will require a fleet of 101
minibus taxis to operate these three routes.

Riverhorse Valley

• The Riverhorse Valley Business Estate (RHVBE) accommodates light industrial,
commercial and mixed-use activities. The Estate has reached its development capacity
and needs public transport services to support the land use. The demand requirements
have been evaluated and a service response has been developed.

• It is estimated that approximately 17,000 employment opportunities will be generated by
activities within the RHVBE, 50% of which would be dependent on public transport. It is
estimated that 6,500 public transport trips will enter the Business Estate during the 3-hour
AM peak period.

• Trips attraction distributions are estimated as follows:
 Inanda/Ntuzuma/KwaMashu – 32%
 Durban North – 17%
 Reservoir Hills, Avoca Hills & Newlands – 12%
 The rest of City – 40%

Riverhorse Valley

The bus was identified as the preferred mode in terms of an
operational and financial analysis, but minibus taxi services were
chosen in the short term to reduce service start-up costs and foster
good relations with the minibus taxi industry. Three option were
formulated:

• Option 1- The first option is to provide “direct routes” from every
major residential area to three distinct sub-areas in RHVBE.

• Option 2- This option comprises of a “semi-direct system”. This
system would provide a direct route from a major transfer facility
i.e. in the North: (Umhlanga Rocks New Town Centre (URNTC))
and from the South (Warwick – CBD) to the sub-areas in RHVBE.

• Option 3- The third option would be to provide a shuttle service.
This shuttle service would transport commuters from the
Effingham Rail station to the various sub-areas within the RHVBE

Implementation
• Phase 1 be implemented incrementally i.e. at implementation stage start the service with 25% of the fleet
and with consistent monitoring and evaluation of the service, ramp up to 50 and 100 percent accordingly.

• Phase 2 be implemented as new formalised direct and semi-direct routes to be broken up into two
categories to allow for easy accessibility to the entire RHVBE development

CATEGORY AREAS OF ATTRACTION DIRECTION AREAS SERVICED
Category 1 INK, Newlands, Reservoir Hills
Minibus taxis entering from the northern side 3,4,5,6

The Plan Operating Depots
Chapter 6 : Contracted Services

• Existing contracted services are currently supported by private and municipal owned depot facilities
throughout the Municipality, which address the needs of vehicle maintenance, repairs, cleaning, deployment,
fuelling management and staff. The ownership of the depots is typically closely linked to the ownership of the
vehicle fleet. The existing Durban Transport Services, People Mover, Dial-a-Ride and Mynah Services vehicle
fleet are owned by the City and are supported by four depots owned by the City:
• Alice Street
• Rossburgh
• Umlazi
• Ntuzuma

• The fleet on other contracted services are typically owned by the contracted operator and are supported by
privately owned depots which are typically owned by the bus operator as well.
