For written reply:
General Affairs:
asked the Minister of Transport Affairs:
- (1) (a) How many accidents involving minibus taxis were reported during the latest specified period of six months for which figures are available and (b) (i) how many persons were (aa) injured and (bb) killed in these accidents and (ii) what were the ages of those (aa) injured and (bb) killed;
- (2) whether his Department is taking any measures to ensure the safety of mini-bus passengers; if so, what measures;
- (3) whether he will make a statement on the matter?
C89E
- (1)
- (a) Between July 1988 and December 1988 an estimated 19 000 mini-buses were involved in collisions.
- (b)
- (i)
- (aa) 5 500
- (bb) 310
- (ii) (aa) and (bb) The ages of the injured and fatally injured ranged from 16 to over 60. Of these 88% were between 20 and 50 years of age.
The above reply is based on information published by the Central Statistical Service. Since the information does not distinguish between mini-bus taxis and minibuses used for private transport, the assumption was made that all mini-buses are used as taxis.
- (i)
- (2) Since it is one of the Department’s functions to improve the safety of all road users, officials of the Department have had various discussions with the organised taxi-industry on this matter. As a result of these discussions, as well as awareness amongst taxi-operators themselves that the number of mini-bus collisions should be reduced, the National Transport Commission resolved to contribute R254 000 towards a research programme to train taxi-drivers in basic driving and management skills and vehicle maintenance. Likewise the National Road Safety Council is engaged in planning a number of projects with a view to improve the safety of mini-bus passengers.
- (3) No.
