The Minister of Transport, Jeff Radebe and SARCC CEO, Lucky Montana have recently unveiled the Khayelitsha Express Service to enhance Metrorail’s service as part of the passenger rail turn around strategy. The new service is expected to cut traveling between Khayelitsha and Cape Town while also providing for own vehicle users through park and ride facilities. The face-lift commuter train started running a full service on the 1st of November 2007, stopping at three stations only en route to Cape Town. The Western Cape MEC of Community Safety, Leornard Ramatlakane and the Mayor of Cape Town Hellen Zille were amongst the dignitaries who graced the occasion. The celebration concluded with an inaugural trip on the Khayelitsha Express from Khayelitsha to Cape Town.
