Abstract
One way of reducing traffic congestion is through the promotion of public transport over private cars. Many countries, South Africa included, have set up policies to prioritise this issue. In accordance with these policies, public transport service planners are working to improve public transport services. This requires the collection of data on public transport usage, public transport timetables and the location of the routes, stops and termini. This data needs to be managed and integrated for use in decision-making on public transport services planning. As some of the data is spatial in nature, a spatial information system is proposed as the best tool for capturing, storing and analysing the data.
