Cape Town's Metrorail passengers have had a rough ride for the past two years, but with the redeployment on Wednesday of 100 Rail Enforcement Unit officers, it might get a little smoother.

To mark the signing of a new one-year deal on Wednesday, dignitaries caught a train from Athlone to Cape Town.

Thuthuka Zondi, who works at an architecture firm in Salt River, said he had caught the train every day since 2015. New trains are expected to be rolled out on some of Cape Town's most functional lines before the end of the year. "It is not often that all three spheres of government get to collaborate in this manner and the pilot year presented some challenges and initial teething problems," said Madikizela.
