Good Party’s Brett Herron says he made the undertaking in 2017 to revamp train system which DA mayoral candidate Geordin Hill-Lewis is introducing anew on campaign trail.

United National Transport Union spokesperson Sonja Carsten said it would not make any difference if the DA ran the trains and that all political parties like to use talk of improving commuter rail like a carrot for the voters but nothing ever materialises.

“Over the past few months Prasa, under its new leadership, has done a lot to adhere to promises that have been made specifically with regard to the Central Line, which they hope to open soon. “Also nobody can do anything about the vandalism and theft that we currently experience throughout our railway infrastructure. If the police are not playing their part, then any plans to upgrade railway infrastructure will remain a pie in the sky,” said Carstens.

Western Cape ANC elections head Nomi Nkondlo said: “The same DA-led administration and its transport services have poorly managed the issuance of permits and the allocation or declaration of certain taxi routes and operation zones. “So until, they demonstrate capability in the areas of public transport within their current powers and functions, they must shut up.”
