Prasa says it’s still working to get the Pretoria to Johannesburg line operational again.
Commuters have begun to trickle back to using the train on the Ga-Rankuwa to Pretoria city centre line after a nearly two-year hiatus.
Speaking to some of the commuters, most people welcomed the increase of security measures, speed and comfort the new train has to offer. A ticket from Ga-Rankuwa Station to Bosman costs R9.50 compared to R35 with a taxi. During the trip, at each station updates could be heard over the onboard intercom system. The train has a capacity of up to 1,200 passengers, though the carriages were barely occupied during our trip.“I love the CCTV cameras because they were not on the old trains.
According to Prasa, damages to stations along the De Wildt/ Ga-Rankuwa line amounts to nearly R43-million. that they were pleased with the progress made so far on work done to repair the line that connects to the Mabopane corridor.
