The City of Johannesburg recently announced that streets across Sandton will be closed off for the entire month of October, to host the world’s second ever ‘EcoMobility World Festival and Exhibition’– a month-long car-free district event. The lanes that will be closed will instead be used for public transport, walking and cycling in a bid to promote alternative transport methods and tackle the vehicle congestion problem currently being experienced in the district.
Do you think our public transport system is sufficiently adequate to cope with certain roads being closed off in the busy district? Let us know by voting on the eTNW homepage.
