ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Cities in countries of sub-Saharan Africa are facing a mobility crisis, which stems from an increased demand for mobility amidst dramatic demographic, urban and economic transitions. Inefficient land use patterns, neglect of the transport sector, dominance of the informal sector, and affordability constraints, have rendered the current public transportation systems ineffective to meet this demand. In response, many cities in sub-Saharan Africa have adopted a transit approach based on BRT-TOD (transit-oriented development using bus rapid transit) to spatial restructuring in an effort to address the disconnect between transportation systems and the fragmented urban form. The rationale behind BRT-TOD is to integrate urban form and all modes of transport into a seamless integrated transport system where all modes will function at their optimum capacity. The study followed a mixed method approach involving deductive and inductive reasoning, arguing that the mismatch in BRT ridership is not caused by the problematic spatial structure of South African cities. Rather, it is characteristic of an inappropriate design response to improve the country’s transport system amidst an inherently fragmented urban form. To accomplish this, the study used qualitative and quantitative data, employing a cross-sectional secondary data analysis to the case study of the MyCiTi BRT’s trunk routes T01-T04 operations in City of Cape Town, South Africa. It hypothesises that land use regulations that are adopted to reverse the effects of distorted land markets, run the risk of achieving the exact opposite, when market forces react to such interventions. This comes at a great public cost.In South Africa, as is the case in other cities of sub-Saharan Africa, distorted land markets and fragmented labour markets have left unique footprints in terms of density, demand and diversity patterns. These patterns hold implications for policies that aim to change them. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geen opsomming beskikbaar.
