Abstract
Paper presented at the 31st Annual Southern African Transport Conference 9-12 July 2012 "Getting Southern Africa to Work", CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa.
Sustainability, also in transportation, is something that all reasonable and responsible authorities should aim for. The term is being used relatively loosely by many and the question is what is really meant by sustainability? The paper aims to firstly clarify the meaning and then provides some perspectives on the social, environmental and financial/economic consequences of transportation, and what it means in terms of transport sustainability.
