On completion of Phase 1 of the 4 phase project, the RRT is projected to deliver 225 000 passenger trips a day through 13 routes, 240 bus stops and 15 BRT stations using around 268 buses.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rustenburg Rapid Transport project, South Africa: Project Description |url=https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/ |website=engineeringnews.co.za |publisher=engineeringnews.co.za/ |access-date=25 June 2020}}</ref> While [[Bus rapid transit]] is one of the components of the RRT system design, it will not be an exclusively BRT driven operation. The routes have been planned to integrate with bus routes servicing townships, suburbs and outlying village areas as well as long-distance bus services, which will work in unison to move people around the city and region.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ya Rona Bus Service Launch |url=https://www.rustenburg.gov.za/events/ya-rona-launch/ |website=rustenburg.gov.za |publisher=rustenburg.gov.za |access-date=11 November 2019}}</ref>
