TRANSPORT INTELLIGENCE * South Africa - Shortage of Buses Looms for 2010
Johannesburg,South Africa -All Africa/Business Day, by Khulu Phasiwe-16 October 2007: -- The South African Bus Operators Association (Saboa) said on Friday that it was concerned that SA would not have enough buses to maintain the normal local operations and to cope with the increased demand for public transport during the 2010 Soccer World Cup tournament... Saboa executive manager Eric Cornelius said that SA would need about an extra 500 luxury buses to carry the 350000 tourists and soccer fans expected to visit SA during the four-week soccer event... But the transport department said SA had enough buses to carry existing and new passenger volumes. The department's spokesman Collen Msibi said: "There are 500 luxury coaches in SA to transport people during 2010. About 15000 long distance and commuter buses are ready for the transportation of people for this event. Based on these figures SA has the capacity to handle 2010 World Cup fans"... The department said the tournament's busiest days would require 60 trains, 600 buses and 10000 minibuses...
