Survey to assess accessibility of public transport

GO GEORGE encourages George residents to participate in a survey conducted by the National Department of Transport (DoT) on the accessibility of transportation systems to people with disabilities, elderly people, women, and children.  These groups of passengers are specifically identified as needing to be accommodated in public transport under the National Land Transport Act (Act 5 of 2009).

Please note that you may assist or participate on behalf of persons with disabilities or special needs under your care. In order for your response to be counted this year, please fill it in by 17 March 2025.

About GO GEORGE

Serving the George community since 2014

GO GEORGE is a scheduled public bus service in the City of George, aiming to provide a first-class public transport service that is reliable, affordable, safe, convenient and accessible, and contributes to a better quality of life for all.

It connects communities, boosts the economy and renders George an appealing choice to prospective businesses and investors.

The fact that more people can now travel across our city, means an improvement in the quality of life for everyone.

What is the GIPTN?

At the heart of the project is an empowerment model that sees public transport operators who were operating minibus taxi or bus services in George forming a company to deliver the new scheduled bus service in terms of a contract. The project forms part of the George Integrated Public Transport Network (GIPTN) and is the result of a partnership between the George Municipality, the Western Cape provincial government, the national Department of Transport and local taxi and bus operators from the George area.
