Partnering and collaboration are essential elements for improving public transport, particularly in South Africa, where urban mobility challenges require multi-stakeholder solutions. The City of Tshwane’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, A Re Yeng, exemplifies how partnerships between government, private sector, and communities can drive sustainable and inclusive transport solutions.

There are many ways to partner, yet as with any structured process, successful collaboration requires fundamental principles that can be refined and adapted over time. This case study highlights key elements of success and lessons learned from the implementation of A Re Yeng, serving as an inspiration for future transport initiatives.

Key Objectives:

• Enhance urban mobility through a structured, integrated BRT system.
• Foster multi-stakeholder collaboration to drive infrastructure development.
• Improve transport efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
• Promote economic inclusion and accessibility for commuters.

This case study demonstrates how strategic partnerships and community engagement contribute to sustainable public transport solutions. For a deeper understanding of the approach, challenges, and outcomes, refer to the full case study available from the National Treasury’s Cities Support Programme.
