With heavy traffic on our roads, rail could be the economic boost we need to create less congestion on the road and leave room for urban development. The purpose of this podcast is to outline what the role of rail is in smarter mobility and how it can be integrated into public transport as one of the main modes of transport used in South Africa. In this podcast we hope to cover the following points below:
- Creating seamless travel
- How existing challenges for rail may pose a hinderance?
- Upgrading and maintaining our roads for safety and seamless travel
Anazi Zote, Project Lead for Smarter Mobility Africa has a one on one interview with Makgola Makololo, Director: Business Development, Sales and Marketing at Alstom to catch up on the latest trends for rail in South Africa and how its transition into smart mobility will impact public transport and trade across the continent.
