For millions of Africans, the daily journey to work, school or markets is one of the most important interactions they have with their city.
As cities grow, pressure on roads and existing transport systems is increasing.
Transport as an economic issue
Long journeys can reduce productivity, increase household costs and make access to employment more difficult.
Investing in reliable public transport therefore has implications far beyond mobility. It can influence economic opportunity, environmental sustainability and quality of life.
