E-tolls fee reduction may not lead to buy-in: JPSA
There "remains little real chance of public acceptance of e-tolling" by Gauteng motorists, despite hints that the Gauteng advisory review panel has proposed a reduction in e-tolls fees, Justice Project South Africa (JPSA) says.

JPSA is reacting to a summary of recommendations made by the advisory panel, which was created by Gauteng Premier David Makhura to review the socio-economic impact of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) and e-tolls.
The advisory panel submitted its report on the multibillion-rand e-tolling system to Makhura on December 30.
Following the summary of recommendations published on the Gauteng provincial government's website, JPSA says it is clear that the "hybrid model" of funding for the current GFIP seeks to retain e-tolling as a "prominent component", despite its "gross inefficiencies and enormous unpopularity among the citizens of Gauteng".
"Although it may be believed by the panel and provincial government that a reduced e-tolls cap will lead to a buy-in on e-tolling by motorists, JPSA believes that this will have little effect on the current feelings citizens of Gauteng have towards ring fencing of our major routes around Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni and there remains little real chance of public acceptance of e-tolling," GFIP says.
