The promotion of public transport directly benefits the urban environment. This paper reports on the preparation of Current Public Transport Records (CPTRs) by Transport Authorities in the Province of Gauteng, South Africa. The integration of the various CPTRs into a province-wide passenger transport information system is discussed. The paper is concluded by a short description of a research project aimed at quantifying the impact of external land-use, socioeconomic and other factors on public transport needs.
