Cape Town makes significant gains in taking over PRASA…
The City of Cape Town (CoCT) says it will have business plans in place by the middle of next year to take over the management of passenger rail services in the metro.
This follows the city council’s adoption of the outcomes of a rail feasibility study, with the key finding that Cape Town should be in control of passenger rail to ensure a functional and efficient service in line with its mandate of providing an integrated public transport system.
In a speech to council, Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis also announced that the city had received a signed short-term Service Level Plan (SLP) from the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA), following months of negotiations, with the SLP laying the foundation for the potential future devolution of the rail service to municipal level.
