South Africa’s roads are getting a serious boost this month: AfriSam Roadstab Cement is now being used to reinforce highways, city streets, and rural access routes, making them more durable and reliable than ever before. For thousands of South African commuters, this means fewer potholes, smoother trips, and less wear on your cars. But there’s another way to save big as our roads improve—through carpooling South Africa with trusted platforms like CrabaRide.
Every day, millions of South Africans face tough commutes, from early-morning hikes to the taxi rank, to long waits for a combi or a lift club spot. Traffic jams around robots in Johannesburg, packed taxis in Durban, and unpredictable road conditions in Cape Town all add to the stress and cost of getting to work.
Transport isn’t cheap—especially if you’re driving solo. Fuel prices keep climbing, tolls add up, and maintenance costs can drain your wallet, particularly if your route is riddled with potholes or rough stretches. According to recent stats, South Africans spend up to 20% of their monthly income on commuting costs, making it one of the highest transport burdens in Africa.
The good news? With the rollout of AfriSam Roadstab 2025, key roads across the country are being upgraded for durability and strength. This means:
Imagine driving from Sandton to Midrand without dodging potholes at every robot, or taking a lift club from Bellville to Cape Town CBD without worrying about damaging your tyres. Upgrades like these make every commute safer and more predictable.
But even with better roads, the costs of solo driving, fuel, and parking remain high. That’s where smarter commuting comes in.
When you share the ride, you share the cost—and the benefits multiply. Here’s how carpooling (or joining a lift club) can help you save:
In real terms, a daily Sandton to Midrand commute can cost over R2,000 per month if you drive alone. But with a regular carpool or lift club, that drops to around R600-R800—a massive saving. Plus, you get to use the carpool lane where available, beating morning traffic.
CrabaRide is South Africa’s most trusted lift club and carpooling platform, built to make commuting safe, simple, and affordable for everyone[1][3].
