Urbanisation and Rail Revival

16

• Rail benefits cannot be ignored; capacity,

environmental, less land required, permanence /

attract investment, reduce car & fuel reliance etc.

The Public Transport problem can only be solved though an effective integrated public transport system

with rail (PRASA) being the backbone

18

19

Cape Town Global City – Rail City

• Rate of urbanisation and growth projections for SA cities

highlights the need for sustainable transport solutions

• Current trends indicate increase in car trips and ownership.

― the doubling of vehicle ownership since 1994

• There is still significant road based public transport (buses and

taxis) – the increasing congestion on the road network

contributes to an ineffective public transport system

• Urban sprawl contributing to the cost of providing transport

• For cities to work - public transport primary basis for

movement with rail as backbone.

• Passenger rail network as the backbone of the system - key

intervention for integrated transport.

• Investment in Rail – recognition of the importance of rail in

SA.

20

Suburban Rail Priorities

• Rail renewal and modernisation

• Transformational timetable changes (frequency and

speed) to strengthened off-peak services

• Introduction of a more user friendly / “clock-face”

timetable,

• More flexible ticketing with a revised premium offer

• Better modal integration to support land use growth

• Infrastructure enhancements including higher speed

running

• Creation of an enhanced and customer focussed ‘Metro’

service

• Strengthened passenger security and enhanced station

facilities

• Aligning PRASA planning with broader stakeholder

priorities

• Potential network extensions where rail is the most

appropriate

Historically, there has been a lack of investment in the Rail Industry;

however, there are large capital projects planned going forward

Projected Expenditure by Freight and Passenger Rail during 2013-2023

Historic Capital Spend in the Rail Industry (1991-2009)1

The average spend on capital projects

during 1991 – 2009 was ~R 740mil.pa

Total capital spend was ~R 14bn over 19

years

Freight Rail has a forecasted spend of ~R 300bn

towards large capital investment programmes

over the next 10 years

Passenger Rail is estimating to invest

~R 172.3bn on key capital programmes over

the next 10 years

Transport mega infrastructure investment

estimated over the next 10 years is ~R 823bn;

which is ~5800% greater than the period

1991 – 2009 (19 years)

Challenges facing Rail due to decades of underinvestment

22

Railway infrastructure, rolling stock and technology

has reached the end of its design lifespan

Poor levels of reliability and predictability

High costs of maintenance

Failure to contribute to an efficient transport system

Overcrowding, slow journey times, poor modal

integration

Inability to support economic activity

Limited access to socio-economic opportunities for

rural and urban poor.

Open System – Settlements on the rail reserve.

Economic and Structural Viability, factors include

long distances, low densities and low income

commuters

The last train sets were purchased in the mid 1980s

Technology is old and inherently obsolete - 1950s

22

Bold strategy to:

Modernise rail to meet travel demand & customerexpectation

Create a modern public entity with

Human;

Financial;

Technical; and

Operational capacity

Deliver quality passenger services on a sustainable andaffordable basis

Acquire 600 new trains (3600 coaches)

Modernisation

WHAT is MODERNISATION???

42

Modernisation

– Changing the “Psychological Makeup ” of the organisation to become focussed on compliance with the customers requirements and service delivery

– Entrench modern human capital development practices and techniques to ensure that employees reach there maximum potential to ensure consistent service delivery

– Use technology to its best potential to achieve optimal performance of assets and the operational systems

– Be comparatively aligned with international performance norms - ISBERG
