PRASA says it is ready for the festive season. From 15 December to 11 January, security at stations and on trains across the Western Cape will be stronger than ever, ensuring a safe and stress-free travel experience for commuters and holidaymakers alike.

Full-day train services will also run on Sundays and public holidays, giving passengers more flexibility and reliable transport during the busy season.

Metrorail provincial spokesperson Zino Mihi says modern trains, combined with upgraded security measures, give travellers peace of mind.

“Visible security teams will be present throughout the rail environment, ensuring passengers and visitors to the Western Cape can travel with confidence. The festive season also showcases the successful transition from the old yellow trains to PRASA’s modern People’s Trains.”

PRASA says all modern trains have been upgraded to prioritise safety and provide a memorable travel experience.

“Trains are now fully equipped with on-board CCTV cameras for enhanced security, improved lighting throughout the carriages, open inter-leading coaches for better visibility and passenger flow, advanced braking and operational systems, and greater comfort and reliability.”

Mihi encourages passengers to choose safe and affordable rail travel this festive season.

“Whether you’re heading to the beach, visiting loved ones, or simply enjoying the beauty of the Western Cape, PRASA Western Cape is ready to provide an exceptional travel experience. Passengers must ensure they have valid train tickets when traveling.”
