11 Operator business plan New bus companies (comprising incumbent taxi and bus operators) will be contracted to operate the system 7 to12 year performance based contracts with compensation based upon bus kilometres travelled, not number of passengers MOUs now signed with both the RTC and Top Six to work with the City with a view to becoming BRT operators Assistance being provided by City to BRT Steering Committee ito consulting and logistical support PUTCO, Metrobus and SABOA also engaged with a view to becoming BRT operators Operator business plan has commenced comprising database of affected operators and employees, conceptual and then detailed business plan 11

12 Infrastructure contracts Preliminary design, detailed design, tendering and construction being carried out variously on 22 contract Detailed capacity and traffic engineering work being undertaken in the Inner City Two sections being done as design & construct Environmental approval proving to be a particular problem All infrastructure being accessible to people with disabilities 12

13 13 Phase 1A construction in 2007/08

14 14 Phase 1A & 1B construction by March 2009

15 15 Phase 1A & 1B construction by March 2010

16 Stations Working towards a prototype station by Sept 2008, and tender documents stating that prices should include construction taking place in Soweto Empowerment Zone Fully accessible to people with disabilities 16

17 Fleet (1) Bus Type Phase 1A Phase 1B Phase 1 Trunk (18,5m articulated with capacity of 90 passengers) Feeder (8,5m with capacity of 32 passengers) Complementary (13,9m with capacity of 60 passengers) TOTAL

18 Fleet (2) Working with NDOT towards minimum uniform BRT bus specifications Initiated look and feel with bus body manufacturers presenting their offerings Committee approvals will take place in May/June 2008 Fleet orders should be placed after funding model is designed probably in July 2008 Every bus will be accessible to people with disabilities 18

22 Fleet propulsion Assessments done by CCI into propulsion options ranging from Euro 3 to Euro 4 to Hybrid to Ethanol Ethanol appears to be an interesting option from a lifecycle cost, availability and engine points of view Euro IV diesel has been approved for Phase 1A but with the testing of some ethanol buses for subsequent phases If only 15% of car users who live within 500m switch to BRT (and normal buses are used) tons of CO 2 will be saved Environmental base lining has started with a view to applying for carbon credits 22

23 ITS ITS Expression of Interest went out for Fare system AVL but responses on operating the fare system were disappointing Fare system able to also accommodate bank issued smartcards is being designed CCTV at all stations and long trunk routes All infrastructure being cabled with fibre optic cables BRT Control Centre implementation JMPD headquarters at Martindale on a modular basis 23

24 ITS Fare system BRT ITS Fare system design advancing well, with a move away from an equipment supply tender to one driven by the operational requirements of the fare system This will mean a fare system operator (probably a financial institution) driving the process, and the City would then contract with the fare system operator It is still envisaged that the City would fund the capital cost of the fare system equipment Fare system tender should advertised around August

25 ITS live passenger information BRT ITS The BRT specific passenger information will hinge on the AVL system, as information on bus locations will be available in real time to the BRT control centre Real time passenger information will then be available to all BRT stations for broadcast and display (via VMS) to passengers On board broadcast and display (via VMS) to passengers will also be available SMS information dissemination being investigated AVL tender should advertised around August

26 ITS static passenger information BRT ITS Every station will have static maps of the BRT system and timetables (inside and outside) Every bus will have static maps of the BRT system and timetables Every station ticket office will have printed maps and timetables available to take away, together with live inquiries at the ticket office The BRT control centre will also be able to provide passenger information Working towards a web based passenger information portal for more than BRT 26

27 CAPEX & OPEX 2007/ /11 Programme / Project (Phases 1A & 1B) Revised Budget 2007/08 R 000 Proposed Budget 2008/09 R 000 Estimate Budget 2009/10 R 000 Estimate Budget 2010/11 R 000 Total BRT = R ( ) ( ) TOTAL PTIS Total PTIS secured = R2,54bn % PTIS of Phase 1A &1B = 87% % PTIS of full Phase 1 = 90% OPEX DONATIONS Kfw/GTZ = 2m = R20m GEF/UNDP = $3,5m = R25m 27

28 Main Risks Funding for planning & implementation Minibus taxi industry participation Commercial viability of operations Environmental impact analyses (EIAs) Capacity to implement Congestion during construction Bus ordering/delivery lead times 28
