Sultan Khan

Sultan Khan is lecturer in Sociology at UKZN. He describes Durban as a dynamic urban space which triggers his sociological imagination.

In his chapter, Public Transport Challenges in Durban – Travelling the Road to the World Cup 2010, Sultan addresses the important issue of public transport in Durban. He provides a brief historical account of influences on public transport in South Africa and the current challenges to develop a safe, efficient and integrated public transport system. As Sultan implies in the title, the imminence of the next World Cup (2010) will act as an incentive to develop the public transport network in cities like Durban which will be hosting matches.
