초록/요약
Urban public transport in Zimbabwe is still struggling to attain a sustainable transportation system status. Historically, Zimbabwe had a thriving transport system in the early 1980s, however, due to several reasons the sector is no longer performing well. The research looked at the current transport technologies, policies, and the existing infrastructure in the country. The study showed that a lot of investment in infrastructure development is required. It was also noted that if clean transportation technologies are adopted without proper infrastructure there might be challenges since the country’s priority is providing basics to the population. Zimbabwe's urbanization is happening at a very fast rate and the demand for transport is increasing. Compared to other countries in the region the country is still lagging in terms of using sustainable transportation systems. A study on Korean and Indonesian urban public transportation systems was carried out. SWOT, Multi-factor analysis method, and Analytical hierarchical process (AHP) were used in the research. Other methods like Avoid, Shift and Improve (ASI) and the green transportation model was analyzed. These studies informed the strategies and the suggested pathway toward achieving a sustainable public transportation system in urban areas of Zimbabwe. The research proposed a stepped triangle (Energy, Transportation, and Environmental) model with steps that can lead to the achievement of such a transport system in urban areas of Zimbabwe. It also highlighted the consequences of introducing the technology without relevant supportive infrastructure.
