This is how I look at it: I ride the trails at least once a week. If I have to buy a day permit at R50 each time, that's R200 a month. R200 x 12 = R2400 per year. Annual permit = R790. Bargain!! A lot of maintenance was done to the trails the past year, including new trails (XCO trail, Skills Park, Protea Hotel corridor etc.). For me, this justifies the increase.
