People in Gauteng are spending significantly more on transport than in 2017, according to a province-wide survey by the Gauteng City-Region Observatory (GCRO).
The survey shows that in 2017, 12% of residents surveyed spent between R1,000 and R2,000 a month on transport. Six years later, that had risen to 17% of residents.
Similarly, the proportion of residents spending more than R2,000 a month grew from just 4% in 2017 to 13% by 2023. Altogether, nearly one in three residents spent more than R1,000 a month on transport last year. Even when accounting for inflation and rising living costs, these figures highlight the growing financial burden of transport for many residents.
Other than those who do not spend any money on transport, a smaller proportion of the sample population are spending less than R1,000 a month. One possible reason for this is that more people in the province are driving private cars.
