Durban - A delicious melting pot of adventure

Loved by holidaymakers from all over South Africa, Durban is the busiest port on South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal east coast and South Africa’s third-largest city. Cultural influences include Indian, African (primarily Zulu) and British. Top destinations along the famous seafront promenade include the massive aquatic marine park, uShaka Marine World, and the impressive Moses Mabhida Stadium. When you visit, you’ll definitely want to try and authentic Durban Curry. Main routes in and out of Durban Central include the N3 – which runs all the way back to Johannesburg – the M1, the R 102 and the R103.

Traffic challenges in Durban

The bustling city of Durban is frequently plagued by road accidents, traffic jams and failing traffic lights due to power outages. Durban is one of South Africa’s most populated cities, with industry, business and street-level enterprise all converging in the busy city centre. Public transport systems are unreliable at best, with the informally-run minibus taxi industry being the most consistent form of transport available to residents who don’t own their own vehicles. Limited transport options mean that there’s more need for privately-owned vehicles on the Durban streets, which makes peak hours a major challenge for commuters.

Why is a fleet management solution particularly useful in a congested city like Durban? Due to heavy traffic during the day and specifically during peak hours, each vehicle spends about 22% more on the road (a total of 16, 008 kilometres in and around the city). That means an average commercial vehicle driver wastes more than 100 hours per year while sitting in traffic.
