Annual Transport Statistics Bulletin 2014 Republic of South Africa i FOREWORD This is the 2014 edition of the annual Transport Statistics Bulletin. The main aim of the Transport Statistics Bulletin is to compile statistical information from various sources in the transport sector into a comprehensive bulletin for use by policymakers, industry players, transport analysts and the wider South African community. The publication covers a wide variety of statistics for all modes of transport, that include aviation, road, rail and maritime. It, inter alia, consists of a series of information on passenger volumes, ports operations, live vehicle population, road safety, airports and many other topics that may be of interest to the transport sector. The statistics covered in the bulletin were collected to a large extent from government departments and government agencies in the transport sector. Since the bulletin is a compendium of transport statistics, it therefore acts as a one-stop source of statistical information and thus enabling users to make comparison of trends across modes in respect of transport indicators. We trust that it will continue to be a useful source of information.
