The paper provides the framework proposed by the newly established Built Environment Unit of CSIR, a public institution, to provide foresight driven research input into the passenger transport domain. This is modelled on the mandate of the CSIR of improving the quality of life through directed multidisciplinary research and technological innovation. Examples of the research initiatives currently underway in this area are provided. The paper concludes by reaffirming the need to establish collaborative relationships founded on a foresight approach, and also defines the scope for specialist in-depth passenger transport operations research opportunities in Africa.
