Cape Town's Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry has called for Metrorail's trains to be cleared of graffiti before the 2010 World Cup.

The chamber's president, Janine Myburgh, says it would be some time before the plans to improve public transport were implemented, but there were a number of things that could be tackled immediately.

One of these was the removal of graffiti on trains. The estimated cost of cleaning a coach's exterior is R20 000.The removal of graffiti will be included under operational funding.

Myburgh says that Cape Town has great visual appeal which would become one of the most filmed and photographed cities in the world in the run-up to 2010.
