Cape Argus reports that the Cape Town city council is proposing flexi-time, compressed work weeks, staggered shifts and remote working for employees, as ways to reduce congestion on the roads.
It says it’s prepared to take the lead introducing core working hours of 10am to 2pm for its more than 25,000 staff. It would also consider offering parking cash-outs to staff who opt for alternative modes of transport instead of parking their cars in the CBD. The council is furthermore considering issuing a 20-year tender for a bike-sharing initiative located near other modes of transport such as railway stations, to promote intermodal transport. These are some of the proposals contained in a draft traffic demand management strategy published for public input until 28 October.
