Transport system upgrade no “train smash”
Posted by Chris von Ulmenstein under Cape Town, World Cup 2010
The City of Cape Town’s Transport Director Maddie Mazaza has said that if the current major road upgrades are not finished by June 2010, it will not be a ”train smash”, and will not cost Cape Town its participation in the World Cup 2010, reports the Cape Argus.
The Hospital Bend and first phase of the Koeberg Interchange upgrades should have been completed by 2010, and the integrated bus rapid transport system should be up and running. The latter will incorporate bus services between Tamboerskloof, Oranjezicht, Vredehoek and Gardens; and between the airport and the city centre, Green Point and Sea Point. A dedicated buslane is also planned for Blaauwberg Road.
