PRASA

Sorry about the delay in releasing the PRASA information. This reorganisation of the passenger rail sector has been on the cards for a while. The official launch function of PRASA was held at Johannesburg Park Station on 20 March 2009.

You can read a detailed report at their webpage.

Overview

The newly-established Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa, PRASA, merges the operations, personnel and assets of the South African Rail Commuter Corporation, Metrorail, Intersite Property Management Services, Shosholoza Meyl and the long distance bus company, Autopax (Translux and City-to-City). As part of the process of integrating these entities, the role of Intersite is being redefined in order to more effectively support PRASA’s new strategic direction and objectives.
