E-tolling was intended to help reduce congestion on Gauteng's roads, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe said in Johannesburg on Friday.

"The Gauteng freeway improvement project was conceived as part of a strategy to solve the problem of congestion on the Gauteng highways.

Say what?!

Say what?!

If people can't afford to use the road it won't be congested! Easy peasy.

lol... by moving them where else? Where else have you made extra provisions for the increased traffic load?

This is basically a full on admission by the ANC government that they have no freaking clue how to run a country properly.

[Nicodeamus]

yes, they want to subsidize the other white elephant (The gautrain).

So when you say

"The bulk of the province's public transport was road-based. With increasing congestion, even public transport would be rendered inefficient. Most of the roads had reached the end of their design capacity."

Why not build new roads? - Instead of charging us more to use the existing ones?

What is this I don't even

well they did implement penalty travel fees during peak hours in London, it has some success, however the money generated from these penalties aren't suppose to go for the maintenance of the project itself (that is what any infrastructure textbook will tell you).

Difference being London's well established mass transit systems.

the fact that the money has to go to uphold the E-toll system proves that Mohlantle is lying through his teeth.

The fact he's a politician proves he's lying through his teeth

The fact that he is an ANC member proves that he is lying (and probably stealing your wallet while talking to you).

I dunno how you regard it as a white elephant. It is barely a year old and already running above 50 percent capacity. Now that the jhb link is open that number is only going to climb.

If anything I would love the network to be greatly expanded.

Yeah. If the vehicles don't use the freeway system, they are going to use secondary routes, which haven't been properly maintained. Pushing traffic into and through the suburbs will almost certainly increase travelling time and accidents.

Park Station is making a big difference. Colleagues are taking about taking this route and their happy experiences.

Would love to use something like this from the west into the CBD.
