Transport Minister, Sibusiso Ndebele said government is paying special attention to improving security measures within the rail environment.
Addressing the National Council of Provinces on his Budget Vote Ndebele said it is useless to spend billions of Rands in transport infrastructure and services without sure that transport users are safe.
Ndebele informed the NCOP, that the construction of rail police stations in Cape Town, Retreat, Bellville and Phillipi in the Western Cape have been completed.
The Cape Town network has already seen a 32% reduction in crime-related incidents, and fare evasion has reduced from 9% to 4%.
The benefits of the initiative are clear and it will be rolled out to all nine provinces.
