Development of a geospatial database of MBT ranks: LoS categorisation of facilities in Gauteng

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The transformation of local and township economies has been identified as one of the critical priority areas for government’s medium-term socio-economic developmental aspirations in Gauteng. Further, recent Gauteng household travel surveys have acknowledged the significant role of Minibus taxi (MBT) in commuting most commuters daily and accounts for substantial proportion of peak traffic demand. This paper contributes to the evaluation and categorisation of public transport facilities research by advancing the development of a weighted decision tool that can assist urban and transport planning authorities to better identify and prioritise areas for improvement and maximize investment when upgrading the quality and level of service provided to MBT commuters.
