Fast Facts
Trunk Routes
These are routes where the Harambee bus will run in a dedicated lane that is only for the Harambee buses. The stops on the trunk route are situated in the middle of the road and are referred to Median stations.
Complimentary
Complimentary routes assist with carrying passengers between two nodes (points of interest). An example of a complimentary route is the current service between station 20 (Corner Oranjerivier Drive and Zuurfontein Road) and Isando. The Complimentary route buses will run in normal traffic. The routes will have kerb side stops that will be marked with Harambee bus shelters or Harambee poles.
Feeder routes
Feeder routes assist with carrying passengers within the vicinity of a certain node from their destination to and back from the trunk route. For example: a feeder route will travel in the vicinity of station 7 (Station at Rabasotho Hall) collecting passengers and then dropping them at Station 7. The feeder buses will run in normal traffic. The routes will have kerb side stops that will be marked with Harambee bus shelters or Harambee poles.
Pedestrian Bridges
The median stations are based close to intersections to ensure that there is safe crossing for the pedestrians to reach the stations. At certain areas where the roads are extremely busy the Harambee BRT have opted to erect pedestrian bridges. These bridges assist the pedestrians to safely cross from the side of the road to the station and vice versa. Lifts are installed at all the pedestrian bridges to make it universally accessible.
