The Rea Vaya Phase 1C expansion project will also provide access to employment opportunities for local emerging contractors, sourced from the local and adjacent communities, to participate in the delivery of the associated scope of works. “The introduction of Phase 1C will bring safe, affordable and reliable transport to the residents of Berea, Yeoville, Orange Groove, Cheldondale, Norwood, Balfour Park, Bramley, Wynberg, Alexandra, Marlboro, Athol, Sandton, Sandown, Longmeadow and Greenstone,” said Cllr Nonhlanhla Makhuba, the Member of Mayoral Committee for Transport in the City of Johannesburg. The City of Joburg’s Transport Department is the ultimate custodian of the infrastructure that is being rolled out for the purpose of the BRT Rea-Vaya system, an investment that has been undertaken in conjunction with the National Department of Transport, to realise the overall objectives of providing required public transport facilities. “Transport is one of the backbones of Johannesburg, and linking residents to economic opportunities and providing quality public transport services closer to the people will address the key problems around transportation, while playing a significant role in connecting them to education, business and work opportunities,” said Cllr Thapelo Amad, the MMC for Development Planning. The development of the Rivonia Road Rea Vaya BRT station is projected for 10 months and will supplement the various parts of infrastructure that have been taking place in the Louis Bo- tha Corridor, these include the Grayston bridge, M1 BRT bridge, and the Watt street interchange.

X-tra Edition Can touchscreens increase your tot’s attention span?

In this busy world we live in, and having to juggle parenting and work, you may not think much about it when your young kids play with their phones and tablets.It’s become the norm for most parents worldwide to keep the kids distracted with screen time when they need to make dinner or get other chores done around the house. However, this has fuelled a growing concern that this may harm our children’s development, especially their ability to focus their attention on relevant information and ignore distraction. These are early skills that are known to be important for later academic achievement. The good news about touch screens and children An interesting new study, published in the American medical journal, Pediatrics, has found that toddlers with high daily touchscreen use are faster to find targets that stand out than toddlers with no or low touchscreen use. The research team, co-led by Dr Ra- chael Bedford of the University of Bath’s Department of Psychology, said the find- ings are important for the debate around the impact of screen time on toddlers. What the study revealed In the study, researchers from the University of Bath’s Department of Psychology in the UK recruited 12-month old kids who had different touchscreen use levels. Following them over a period of two-and-a-half years, the toddlers were brought into the lab to take part in a computer task at the age of 18-months and again at the age of three-and-a-half years. In the tests, the toddlers were asked first to find a red apple between a number of blue apples and then, in a more difficult search, to find the blue apples and red apple slices. An eye tracker was used to monitor their gaze, and they were visually re- warded when they found the required apples. This allowed them to perform the task even though they were too little to actually describe what they were doing. “We found that at both 18 months and 3.5 years, the high touchscreen users were faster than the low screen users to find the red apple when it stood out amongst the blue apples,” said Dr Bedford. “There was no difference between the groups when the apple was harder to find.” She reported that the next step would be to determine whether this attention difference is to their advantage or detrimental to their everyday life. “It’s important that we understand how to use this modern technology in any way that maximises benefits and minimises any negative consequences.” Dr Ana Maria Portugal, the main researcher on the project, pointed out that they were unable to conclude touchscreen use caused the differences in attention “as it may also be that children who are generally more attracted to bright, col- ourful features seek out touchscreen devices more than those who are not.”
