The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has partnered with the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport to conduct a large-scale survey on the use of public transport in the Gauteng province.

More than 36 000 households have been selected to participate in this survey, which aims to assist government to plan for future investments in transport infrastructure in the province.

The outcome of the survey is expected to contribute towards improved transport planning and inform future investments in transport infrastructure in the province. It will also provide a snapshot of the perceptions and travel experiences of residents, thus measuring the progress in solving transport challenges.

The survey will be launched officially by Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Dr Ismail Vadi, and CSIR Executive Director, Dr Bethuel Sehlapelo, at the CSIR, in Pretoria. The importance and impact of the Survey will be outlined during the event.
