If implemented, the project is expected to reduce travel times between the provinces by at least three hours, and will increase economic prospects for Durban, especially concerning the tourism sector.

Cyril Xaba, Durban mayor, stated his views, “This will boost tourism in the city as more people from Johannesburg will spend their weekends in Durban. They can also leave Johannesburg in the morning and easily return to Johannesburg the same day.”
