Funding

The project is funded through a combination of national government grants, which provide the lion’s share of resources, provincial government support and City sources.

Bus Rapid Transit costs four to 20 times less than light rail and is the best-known way to transport large numbers of people as cost-effectively and efficiently as possible. The service is capital-intensive, but is crucial for the future sustainability and well-being of the City.

For further details on funding for the various phases, see the Project Reports.
