Thank you, Hon Chairperson. On behalf of the African National Congress I hereby move without notice:
That the Council-
1) notes that commuters in Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain have been left out of affordable transport access to the city centre, with at least 22 days of no trains and 179 days of no MyCity buses;
2) further notes that it was still not clear when train services on the central line between Cape Town, Khayelitsha and
Mitchells Plain would resume after being suspended earlier this month;
3) also notes that the failure of the city to negotiate a new contract on the MyCity N2 Express is not only affecting ordinary workers but also job seekers who were given free rides to help them seek employment; and
4) takes this opportunity to call on Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa, Prasa, and the City of Cape Town to resolve the problems that are affecting this important service to our people as soon as possible.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution
