A Practical Guide To Creating Efficient Commuter Communication Systems

In all social and economic endeavours efficient communication is critical to successful outcome, and a common understanding. Public transport scheduling management is critical in order for the individual end-user [commuter] to plan and organize their journey.It is also, very important for the national economy that workers and students do not spend a substantive period of their productive time of the day waiting endlessly, for public transport that never arrive or arrives very late. On the other hand, public transport scheduling is very much dependent on the state of the road and rail infrastructure – which does need serious attention. Scheduling management also has an impact on the mental health of the public transport end-users [commuters].To address the issue of efficient commuter communication systems, SANCOC is establishing together with our partners – an integrated multimode communication platform using the application of the latest cellular telephony technology, linking and integrating [communication wise] the following transportation value chain stakeholders:• Commuters in all mode of travel• Minibus Taxis Operators• Bus Service Operators• Railway Service Operators• Private Vehicle Commuters• Other Road Users• Air Travel Commuters• Emergency Services Providers• Law Enforcement• Government

By attending this workshop you will learn how to:• Maintain constant communication with your customer base• Improve customer relations• Achieve customer retention in your sector• Market your services efficientlyYou will be able to go back to your desk and:• Be able to monitor how you are perceived in the market place• Be able to establish service levels of your operations• Keep up to date with the movements of demand for your services• Establish a database of frequently reported incidents of you

operation – and seek to address these.Pascall Moloi, President and CEO SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL COMMUTERS COUNCIL

Dear Commuter Transport Professional

FAST FACT ONE: 64% of the South African population use taxis and yet

there is no subsidy for them (SA National Travel Survey, 2005)

FAST FACT TWO: 14% of South African trip makers spend more than

1hour per trip – 73 minutes by train, 49 minutes by taxi, 25 minutes by

car (SA National Travel Survey, 2005)

FAST FACT THREE: 80% of South African public transport must be

compliant with the new operating licence system by 2009

Considering these statistics, it is clear that action must be taken NOW!

An efficient public transport system is essential to the socio-

economic development of a nation. If you consider the facts above, you

can see why this is true. As the 2010 Soccer World Cup draws closer,

all eyes are on South Africa. During this time the demand for public

transport will be even higher than it is now. We have all heard of the

billions of Rands that are intended for the investment in this sector. Now

is the time to see how efficiently these funds are being managed and

used.

You cannot afford to miss this opportunity to actively contribute

to a better economy by being part of the public transport solution. At

the Commuter Indaba, your contribution is vital. IQPC is providing you

with a platform to interactively discuss and engage with industry

leaders to help develop practical solutions for the future. Fill in the

registration form at the back of this brochure and fax it back to us as

soon as possible to reserve your place.
