Fuel your feet at expo
Enjoy foot rubs, reflexology, shoe shining and cleaning, while learning more about he City’s vision for public transport in GO!Durban.
GO!Durban, the eThekwini Municipality’s new integrated rapid public transport network which is currently under construction, will present visitors to the Sustainable Living Expo, at the Durban Exhibition Centre from 14 to 16 August, with an opportunity to experience the world’s first Foot Fuelling Station.
The fuelling station, is a place where avid walkers and riders of Durban’s streets can go to fuel their feet. Here visitors will be able to enjoy foot rubs, reflexology, shoe shining and cleaning, and an opportunity to refresh themselves while learning more about the City’s vision for public transport in GO!Durban and how it adds to creating a more livable, caring and sustainable environment for all.
As part of GO!Durban, much planning has gone into the creation of non-motorised transport networks which includes bicycle lanes, walkways and bridges for pedestrians for commuter and recreational purposes, which are being developed at the same time as the integrated rapid transit network. This will provide a safer, more efficient, reliable and cost-effective public transport network, which will reduce the need for people to rely on vehicles, and therefore propel the reduction of vehicles on the roads.
The eThekwini Municipality will be implementing bicycle workshops in 2016 and 2017 as well as building new parks to give the public more space to learn to cycle. More information about these initiatives will be available at the Expo.
Durban citizens are invited to “fuel their feet” as a forward looking theme that aims for a time when people rely more on their feet as a mode of transportation encouraged by the holistic approach of GO!Durban, and find out more about this exciting project at the GO!Durban stand at eThekwini Municipality’s Sustainable Living Expo, which showcases the myriad ways in which we as citizens can work together towards a more sustainable future.
Entrance is free and all are welcome.
