i see the prob with the local transport service and think that while the new people mover system will be fantastic for the city, it will not be extensive enough initially, but is a fantastic start!

As umhlanga is developing into a thriving zone itself, moreland in partnership with the city are soon to launch an umhlanga bus service that covers the entire umhlanga and la lucia areas solely with a bus every 15mins. This will connect with the durban transport service from umhlanga to the city and with the people mover service that will also have an umhlanga link (be it bus or tram, but doubt the tram will cover the umhlanga leg, it will stay in the inner city area).

These are positive developments for teh people mover service will run from 0500 to 0030 with all the security bells and whistles. i have all the timetables and what not. i could do a piece on it here like i have in the ssc sa forum.
