Hon Chairperson and hon Minister, commuters who use rail as a means of transport have plummeted from 2,7 million users in 2008, to just over one million to date. This is largely due to safety concerns of those passengers.
When will the Minister agree to the devolution of the rail safety function to the provinces and the metros and also initiate regulations that will allow for a decentralised special railway police or security service as was successfully rolled out by the DA-led government in the City of Cape Town?
