While other forms of public transport such as mini-bus taxis and Golden Arrow have started rolling out their anti-COVID-19 plans, it seems Metrorail has yet to begin.
Some Metrorail commuters have on Tuesday accused the government of not taking their health seriously enough.
Last week, the government announced plans to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on trains, promising it would make hand sanitizer available to commuters.
But a week on and there’s still no sign of preventative action on Cape Town Station’s platforms.
While other forms of public transport such as mini-bus taxis and Golden Arrow have started rolling out their anti-COVID-19 plans, it seems Metrorail has yet to begin.
At the Cape Town station, there’s no sign of hand sanitizer and no officials distributing hygiene products.
Those on board are still not practicing ‘social distancing’. while some passengers have their own face-masks.
“This is to protect myself,” one commuter said.
Another woman said the government was not taking commuters’ health seriously.
EWN has approached the national transport department for comment on timelines to implement the promised plans; it has yet to respond.
