City of Cape Town Transport and Urban Development Authority Competition Commission Market enquiry into Land-based Public Passenger Transport Industry 21 June 2018 [v2.0 20180620]
OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION • Submissions to Competition Commission • Need for change • Integrated Public Transport Network: • CoCT’s integrated public transport methodology • 10 point plan
CoCT Submissions to Competitions Commission to date • CoCT = City of Cape Town • Initial submission 2017-09-13 (16pp) • Response to detailed questions Nov 2017 (28pp and 17 documents) • Comment on Statement of Issues 2018-05-25 (5pp)
NEED FOR CHANGE • Cape Town’s transport system is facing very significant challenges. • A fundamental transformation of Cape Town’s public transport system is required • MyCiTi service has provided part of the solution, however … • Will not aim to replace all minibus-taxis (MBTs) • Will still rely on improved conventional bus • Will work with and enhance new generation services • BUT: What are the costs of not significantly improving Cape Town’s public transport system?
Need for public transport investment Failure to significantly improve public transport twill lead to …. 1. Increasing inequality 2. Worsening congestion 3. Constraints on economic growth and development 4. Increasing negative environmental impacts. BUT: Must ensure that it is • Fiscally and financially sustainable • Resilient and flexible to respond to change • Enable spatial transformation and TOD
• Failure to significantly improve Integrated Public Transport Network will lead to increasing inequality, worsening congestion, serious constraints on economic growth and development and increasing negative environmental impacts. Majority of Cape Town’s population in the Low Income bracket are located on the periphery, between 45-70km from jobs
• Failure to significantly improve Integrated Public Transport Network will lead to increasing inequality, worsening congestion, serious constraints on economic growth and development and increasing negative environmental impacts. Income groups per mode • Majority of low income bracket dependent on public transport • The poorest people travel the longest distances • High cost of access: if no change is made, residents will spend more time and more money getting to work and other destinations than ever before. User Access Priorities Across Cape Town (NHTS 2013)
• Failure to significantly improve Integrated Public Transport Network will lead to increasing inequality, worsening congestion, serious constraints on economic growth and development and increasing negative environmental impacts. • High levels of congestion on Cape Town’s road network • Peak period extended from 2hrs to 4hrs in last 10 years • Minibus-Taxis and most buses are stuck in traffic • Cannot build our way out of congestion
• Failure to significantly improve Integrated Public Transport Network will lead to increasing inequality, worsening congestion, serious constraints on economic growth and development and increasing negative environmental impacts.
THE IPTN BUSINESS PLAN • Integrated public transport methodology
IPTN Business Plan’s Integrated public transport methodology BRT and Passenger Rail Quality Bus City-wide integration, infrastructure, • Oversight • Integrated network strategic design Nature of management • Integrated fare system integrative role • Station services differs for • Control through an different sectors integrated technology • Regulation and MBT & new enforcement (eg rail • Infrastructure provision generation and infrastructure other • Infrastructure built by PRASA) Maintenance services • Depots • Etc.
Prioritising scarce resources is key: We need an approach which aims for optimal outcomes ... but can accommodate what actually happens Flexible and robust
Implementing IPTN over time: Prioritising scarce resources is key • Start with the ‘best’ and most financially sustainable services which have the most impact • Risk mitigation: If revenue is reduced through reduced grants or fare income the affordability threshold falls
The IPTN BP 10 point plan 10. Regulation, 9. Revenue Enforcement, optimization 8. Physical Network priority for Management public 1. Enhancing transport demand patterns (TOD and TDM) 7. IT/tech ONE integrated, strategies/ AFC 2. Rail multimodal network 6. NMT 3. BRT along key corridors 5. ‘Hybrid’ minibus taxi 4. Quality solutions Bus
Crucial for enhancing access at reduced cost 1. Enhancing demand patterns (TOD and TDM)
Transit Orientated Development (TOD) Key reason why City of Cape Town formed the Transport and urban Development Authority • Deal with Apartheid nature of settlement in Cape Town • Low income people live far from work opportunities • Cannot solve transport problems without engagement in urban development / Built Environment • That is why national Green Paper on Transport wanted urban public transport to reside with cities
Crucial for enhancing Transport Demand Management (TDM) access at reduced cost measures such as peak 1. Enhancing spreading – This has demand patterns been the impact of (TOD and TDM) the recent changes to Ideal long term profile the peak fares
Changes in Land Use – TOD Scenarios 1. Land-use Variables Business as Usual Peak reverse flow demand 25% Seat turnover factor (all stop) 1.3 Seat turnover factor (express) 1.1 Peak hour pax demand as % 16.0% of whole day
Changes in Land Use – TOD Scenarios (proxies) TOD Comprehensive 1. Land-use Variables Business as Usual achieved Long term by 2032 Peak reverse flow demand 25% 70% 36% Seat turnover factor (all stop) 1.3 2.5 1.6 Seat turnover factor (express) 1.1 2.1 1.4 Peak hour pax demand as % 16.0% 12.0% 15.0% of whole day
1. Enhancing Rail is the City’s Public demand patterns (TOD and TDM) Transport Backbone 2. Passenger Rail Excellent for high volume trunks in peak over long distances
Trunk: Rail • Need the very important Blue Downs link to be implemented in short-medium term
Trunk: Rail • Direct link between Metro South East and Bellville • Creates scope for establishing a circular route offering new options for efficient operational designs • reducing trainset requirements for deployment elsewhere
Trunk: Rail • Major operational improvement required throughout system to reverse decline • Extend integrated fare system to rail • Assumes PRASA/national take full financial responsibility for passenger rail improvements • Highlights need for City involvement to help ensure integration and quality
1. Enhancing • Long term network demand patterns vision: BRT trunks to fill (TOD and TDM) in network not covered by rail 2. Passenger • Comparative Rail advantage in serving fairly dense corridors with high seat renewal 3. BRT along key corridors IPTN Implementation Plan (March 2017) • Determines prioritisation of BRT trunk corridor investment and high level rollout programme
• BRT projects must be viewed as property development projects as well 1. Enhancing demand patterns (TOD and TDM) 2. Passenger Rail 3. BRT along key corridors Higher density Commercial, Business Residential use Low density, mainly residential use BRT dedicated lanes

Existing services MyCiTi quarterly Passenger Journeys 2011 to 2018 * A passenger journey is the full journey from origin to destination and often includes trunk and feeder segments
Existing services - Moderation gains Fare revenue covering an increasing Cost recovery on T01 trunk proportion of direct operating costs route currently (trunks and feeders) close to 80%. MyCiTi: Fare Revenue vs Direct Operating Costs (%) First moderation Optare maintenance Implemented commences 50% 46% 47% 46% 46% 43% 46% 45% 44% 45% 43% 42% 40% 41% 39% 39% 40% 34% 35% 29% 30% 25% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0%
Competition and efficient business models • CoCT is committed to creating the conditions for fair competition amongst service providers • Do not support the traditional view of public transport that there should be no competition in same area • CoCT supports competition for the market and in the market • Three operators in MyCiTi Phase 1 • In terms of agreed national approach contracts were based on negotiation with existing operators – mainly MBT operators • Will be tendered in future • Scope for competing for additional services on ongoing basis • Similar approach for future phases of BRT
Key changes needed to ensure sustainability IPTN BUSINESS PLAN: SENSITIVITIES TO OPERATING COSTS Contribution to operating deficit after deducting fare income and other funding from costs 400 subsidised scheduled feeder buses Full No scheduled feeders feeders Scheduled feeders Bus operating variables Competitive VOC rates Business Full TODC as usual Land use and travel demand patterns TODC achievable by 2032 Non-fare revenue funding Positive swing Negative swing -R6,000 -R5,000 R-4,000 -R3,000 -R2,000 -R1,000 R0 R1,000 R2,000 R3,000 R4,000 R5,000
RISKS Sensitivity of outcome to key variables • Scheduled feeders: Reduce extent of MyCiTi feeder, increase direct services – facilitate new generation services (fewer scheduled feeders, increased use of direct services, extensive use of New Generation minibus-taxi services supported, investment in e-hailing technology) • Bus operating variables (increase speed, larger vehicles, ensure buses are full in the peak, less positioning kms and fewer spare buses) • Competitive Vehicle Operating Company (VOC) rates (reduce VOC rates through competitive tendering) • Reduce indirect costs (reduce cost of station management, fare management, enforcement, oversight) • Sensitivity to land use scenarios (TOD) and transport demand management (improved reverse flow, seat renewal, reduction in travel distance and in demand, widen times of travel) • Non-fare revenue funding increased (Additional rates income, widen parking management, new parking levy, securing other subsidies)
Golden Arrow Bus Services 1. Enhancing demand patterns (TOD and TDM) 2. Passenger • Quality Bus mode Rail • Core feeders and direct services • Peak only and all day services (depending on viability as TOD materialises) 3. BRT along • Integration with MyCiTi BRT trunks Current characteristics key corridors •• Easy transfers Established management •• Ticketing Many seats integration per vehicle •• Timetable Not good integration for seat renewal and level • Branding boardingintegration (irrespective of 4.4.Quality Integrate GABS into • which But good VOC foroperates buses)point to long distance Bus network • Same infrastructure (1 system) point trips •• Real time information Net contract and monitoring helps manage risk although leads to monopoly supply Some •• Requires anduse of BRT other dedicated complexities assignment lanes and of Contracting priority infrastructure at key congestion Function points
Seeking to create competition in provision of conventional bus services (GABS) • Currently GABS operates in terms of one single contract for the whole metropolitan area • Best mechanism for introducing competition is not yet agreed • GABS ownership of depots makes introduction of competition difficult • New entrants will not be able to compete • City considering buying depots
Introducing competition into conventional bus services • Possible stagger tendering
But challenges experienced in assignment of contract to CoCT • Applied for assignment of contracting function in 2012 in terms of NLTA • Not yet granted • NLTA Amendments remove the provision for assignment of the GABS contract
Minibus taxis will form a key part of 1. Enhancing demand patterns the envisaged system (TOD and TDM) • Well positioned to benefit from “New Generation” technologies 2. Passenger • Slides to follow under Rail technology approach • Transformation of industry 3. BRT along • Infrastructure must be designed key corridors for their integration into the network 4. Quality Bus 5. Hybrid Minibus-Taxi solutions
Passengers unhappy National Household Travel Survey for the Western Cape (StatsSA) 51% Behaviour of taxi drivers towards passengers 50% Taxis are too crowded 41% Overall are dissatisfied with the taxi services Weekend Argus - 11 April 2015
I N D U S T R Y T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Towards a Future State Facilitate the formation of RTC VOC 1 Association-based Transport Operating Companies (TOCs) across the City as a precursor to the formation of PTI-based TOC RTCs and contract-based VOCs A Association
I N D U S T R Y T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Towards a Future State Facilitate the transfer of all 2 Operating Licenses from individual operators to Association-based Transport Operating Companies (TOCs)
I N D U S T R Y T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Towards a Future State 3 Invest in building the capacity of these TOCs in the same way the City has invested in a 3 year capacity building programme for the 2 taxi- based N2 Express companies
I N D U S T R Y T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Towards a Future State Once the TOCs are formed and 4 functional and able to form Regional Taxi Companies (RTC) contract the PTI management function (security, cleaning and minor maintenance) to these RTCs Other contracting opportunities eg. advertising rights at PTIs Land for depots/fuelling facilities
Taxi recapitalisation • Over planned lifespan of 7 1200 TRP Objectives R7.7 billion over 7 years Projected Expenditure years of the TRP: Actual Expenditure • ~ R3.2 billion 1000 expenditure ? TRP EXPENDITURE (R MILLIONS) • objective: R7.7 billion 800 • ~ 51,000 vehicles 600 scrapped • objective: 100,000+ 400 vehicles 200 • Allocation to TRP 0 included in MTEF projections • But mechanisms to Source: compilation of data from NT expenditure review achieve increased utilisation are not clear
Possible improved vehicle renewal scheme • Create a new Vehicle Renewal Programme (TRP V2) • Incentivise larger vehicles? Link to tracking and real time info? • Structure the transaction to partially “secure” vehicle financing • Provide sufficient upfront capital to reduce the debt required and improve the debt to asset ratio • Establish a First Loss Facility in addition to a capital support programme? • Renewal should be through a revolving fund • Current TRP was largely designed as a once-off • But revolving fund has significant advantages in maintaining a high quality fleet into the future (e.g. 400 000km or 5 – 7 years age)

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE IPTN? • Prioritization for public transport remains key….. • Whatever new technologies are available, if public transport is stuck in congestion its advantages will be limited • Trunk services required for high volume movement along corridors • But, creates scope for • Better tailored and more cost-effective feeders to the trunks • More use of direct services using MBTs or larger (eg 15-25 seaters), and car competitive small vehicle options • Implications to be considered: • Design to facilitate open transfers at key trunk stations, much improved PTIs needed for transfer between MBT and Trunks • Incentivising transfers for passengers/operators – ie transfer subsidy to passengers
8. Physical priority for public 1. Enhancing transport demand patterns (TOD and TDM) 7. IT/tech strategies/ AFC 2. Rail Capital funding availability6.toNMT implement 3. BRT along BRT corridors with PTNG within reasonable key timeframe5.across ‘Hybrid’ city is challenging corridors minibus taxi 4. Quality • System wide improvements solutions to general Bus public transport, aligned to ongoing road maintenance and investment • PT priority lanes must include enforcement measures
And highways - the other mobility backbone… • Huge investment • Fast, no intersections • Congested by single occupancy vehicles • Limited priority use by public transport • N2 BMT lane the only public transport facility on freeways
Efficiency of BMT lane Surveyed on 12th April 2016 Lane Type Buses Taxi Cars Other Total BMT Lane 198 774 441 19 1 432 Occupancy 70 15 1.5 0 Passengers 13 860 11 610 662 0 26 132 % Pax Modal Split 53% 44% 3% 0% 100% • A normal traffic lane gives a total of only 2 700 people per hour – carried by 1800 cars. • This is only 11% of the number of people transported in the BMT lane in one hour, illustrating the overwhelming advantage of a BMT lane in transporting people.

Planning Authority Operating Licence and Route Consideration
The City, as Planning Authority, to determine the need for any particular public transport service in terms of the CITP and direct as such; or If CITP is not yet finalised or inadequate, then such direction must be based on due inquiries and investigations carried out
The City, as Planning Authority, thus have the duty to direct in terms of regulated competition in the public transport industry
Operating Licence Applications When is Planning Authority direction required? - Granting of an operating licence - Renewal of an operating licence - Amendment of an operating licence - Transfer of an operating licence
Operating Licence Administration Operating Licence Relationships Driver Can have many Can only have one Operating Licence Driver Owner(s) Vehicle Can only have one Driver Validity Period Authority Service Line / Segment A Service type Can only have one Segment B Authority Service Line / Validity Period Segment C Service type Can only have one Authority Service Line / Validity Period Service type
Transport Service Determines Need TDA Input Required Minibus Taxi - 9 – 35 Seater Vehicle CPTR Information (TRS) Direction - 4 – 7 Seater Vehicle (Amaphela) CPTR Information (TRS) Direction Metered Taxi - Rank Business Plan Direction - Base Business Plan Direction - E-Hailing Business Plan Direction Scholar - Private Contract with school or parents Direction - WCED WCED Contract None Staff Contract with Employer Direction Contracted - MyCiTi Negotiated Contract (S41) None - Dial-A-Ride Tender Contract None - GABS Interim Contract (46) None Long Distance CPTR Information (TRS) Concurrence Tuk-Tuk Commercial Services Contract None Cross Border Determined by CBRTA Concurrence Charter Determined by PRE None Tourist Determined by the NPTR None Special Event
Routes belongs to the Planning Authority, who in turn grant public transport operators the authority to operate on any particular route for a specific period.
Public Transport Routes Planning Authority Consideration Is this is a new taxi route or an amendment of one? Is support for registration of a new route association is required? A, B and via point consideration Agreement required if more than one taxi association operate along the same route or a large section thereof Is it affecting any existing minibus taxi routes? Is the re any possibility of conflict between taxi associations? Is there ranking space available at A, B or via Point? Any stops required along the proposed new route?
