dc.description.abstractThis thesis attempts to quantify the impact of kombi-taxis on the conventional modes of public transport, in particular the bus, in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area. The impact is quantified in terms of the resultant modal shift of commuters from the buses, trains, cars and walking, in favour of the kombi-taxi. The approach adopted involved a study of the kombi-taxi and bus operations and characteristics on the different kombi-taxi routes in the study area. Five representative routes were selected for a detailed study, involving an Observation survey and an Interview survey directed at the bus and kombi-taxi users on these routes. On a further 66 routes, a bus-taxi modal split survey was conducted. The findings of the study show• that the majority of present kombi-taxi users are former bus users. Conservatively, an estimated 30.6% of all the daily bus passenger trips have been lost to the kombi-taxi. The effect on trains has not been insignificant with an estimated 4.4% of all commuter train trips having been converted to kombi-taxi trips.en_ZA
