Unlike many other South African cities, Cape Town has a relatively developed public transport infrastructure. Well it did 30 years ago. In the intervening years rapid growth has outstripped investment in providing transport and today the city has only what officials describe as a commuting public transport facility, which is crippled by peak demand and by years of neglect.
Capetonians cannot boast endlessly only about their beaches, mountains and winelands. They can be justifiably proud of their economy too — the Western Cape has the highest growth rate of all the provinces, as well as the lowest unemployment figures.
