Gautrain Approved, Roads Still Deadlocked

Well the Gautrain has been approved and I’m fully expecting the guys from Commentary to start their campaign of sabotage sometome soon.

And this is probably one of the few topics in SA today where conservatives and arch-leftists agree, that the Gautrain will cost too much and do too little. It’s estimated that the Gautrain will reduce congestion by 20% but congestion in Gauteng is increasing at 7% a year. So in the three years it will take to build it will reduce congestion to… today’s level. This is what running in place feels like.
