If you don’t pay e-tolls, expect a 6 hour commute between Joburg and Pretoria: report

CEO of e-tolls collections company ETC says that unless Sanral can start the next phase of its Gauteng freeway upgrade project, motorists should expect hours-long commutes from Joburg to Pretoria in the next 20 years.

I beg to differ in about 2 to 3 years not on of us are going to be able to afford the price of the fuel to commute

 

[AstroTurf]

phase one of the Sanral’s plans – was over R22 billion

How much of that was for the etoll system again?

We can always get horses and be proper cowboys and crooks

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

more scare tactics, for more people with limited understanding of the etoll deal,

didnt somebody on mybb make a video explaining the system? and how corrupt it is?

“Unless we get busy with Phase Two of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP), which involves building 158 kilometres of new roads to redirect traffic away from the congestion areas, you better get prepared for a six-hour commute between Joburg and Pretoria.

Existing roads were upgraded and made into toll roads, one has to use them, the alternatives were already at capacity during peak times and cannot carry the 4 times more volume if we moved from the new tolled roads.

They should have built the new roads first, and tolled them however much they want.

We didn’t land on the toll roads, the toll roads landed on us!

Mr Coenie Vermaak, the only reason your tune has changed is because of where you are getting your money, the application of mind story is false.

I have really applied my mind and realised it’s an unfair system from before it was even implemented. Some people can use sections of the GFIP with zero cost (just because they do not pass under a gantry). Sanral and ETC does not know about their trips and thus do not charge them. So much for user pays.

Nah, let's rather give SAA R25 Billion. We don't need new non-toll roads in the economic heart of SA.

 

[Temujin]

Fark off. I pay rates, taxes and **** tons of levies for this work(new infrastructure development and maintenance on existing) to be done already(none of which takes place, my rates alone went up 5x this year and get fark all for it in return), not paying you foreign farkers too for **** I've already paid and been overcharged for... gov aholes loot it all instead of budgeting and using it correctly regardless... all about tenders and fancy german cars

For those interested on the proposed upgrades and new development.

You think SANRAL default will be isolated.. wait till the news breaks about which SoEs have the state default everything. I’ll say it again, not paying your eTolls is going to come around in an interesting way soon.

someone tell them "tsek naai" I don't have their email address or ****s left to do it personally.

So they spent 17billion on a 10.5billion project then another 3billion that is costing them R1billion a year?
