I disagree on Gautrain - I must say I am impresed that they are working hard on this every day of the week. Even the website is well maintained.
Not disputing that. According to their own admission it would not be ready for 2010 and some sections will only be done later, remember the whole idea was based on it. Cost planning is also a disaster. We will see the final outcome. BUT I must agree... AT ANY COST it is a start in the RIGHT DIRECTION.
Maybe by 2050 we will have some 1st world public transport infrastructure, if we have power to supply it
