2014GO!Durban, the Citys new integrated rapid public transport network has created a fantastical “Believe Tree for the Sustainable Living Expo at the Durban Exhibition Centre which starts today 22/08/2014.
The Sustainable Living Expo aligns with one of the most important aspects of the Integrated Rapid Public Transport (IRPTN) roll out – future sustainability of the city through efficient, safe and affordable public transport. The tree has been created as a symbol of hope and dreams for the future of an environmentally friendly and sustainable Durban. Visitors to the Expo are encouraged to write their hopes and dreams on a leaf and place it on the tree. For every leaf planted on the tree, GO!Durban will plant a corresponding real living indigenous tree in areas most in need of greening along the different IRPTN corridors.

2014GO!Durban, the Ethekwini Municipalitys new Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network (IRPTN) is currently under construction in Pinetown. As part of developing a station and a dedicated bus median on Josiah Gumede Road, thirteen beautiful trees were originally earmarked to be removed. The Ethekwini Transport Authority, however, through its consulting teams engaged with the National Heritage Council, AMAFA and several other role players and stakeholders to find a solution to save these trees.
The IRPTN layout and location of the station was duly revised and the end result is that eleven trees will be saved. Two Natal Fig trees in front of the Library on Josiah Gumede will unfortunately have to be removed in the weeks to come to create space for these dedicated bus lanes and station.

2014To celebrate the diverse cultures that work together in eThekwini’s transport department the ETA decided to dedicate Diversity Day to knowing more about each other. The day’s activities were based on Human Rights and their role in respecting one another regardless of race, religion, status, culture and more. Diversity is an important role in ETA’s structure and ensures that each individual is valued for their unique contribution to the team.
