THE City of Johannesburg on October 12 officially unveiled Africa’s largest intermodal transport hub – the Johannesburg International Transport Interchange (JITI) on the west of Park Station, in Newtown.
The unveiling was led by Johannesburg mayor Mpho Moerane, who was accompanied by the portfolio project owner, Transport MMC Nonhlanhla Makhuba.
They were joined by other councillors to receive the facility from the Joburg Development Agency, ahead of its opening for operations early in 2022.
The transport facility investment is in line with the Joburg Growth and Development Strategy 2040.
The JITI had been under construction for a couple of years and was finally handed over, after being given the greenlight for use by long-distance transport operators and commuters in the new year.
At 50 000 m², the JITI will see about 1 500 travellers daily arrive or depart to destinations within the Southern African Development Community region.
