The African Christian Democratic Party in the Western Cape has called on Metrorail in the province to take a hard look at itself and rate its services. 

ACDP Leader in the province Ferlon Christian said the services of Metrorail are falling short and missing the mark. 

Christians said that as the ACDP they are calling on Metrorail to consider the knock on affect on their pathetic service on the economy of the nation.

“When the workers in the train, arrive late at work they get penalised but also our productivity is negatively affected and then the commuter gets penalised, get short pay at the end of the work day,” said Christians.

Meanwhile Regional Manager of Metrorail Mthuthuzeli Swartz said it has noted the comments made by ACDP. 

Swartz said he wants to assure commuters that Metrorail is doing everything in their power to bring serious change to the service. 

Swartz said that over the next few weeks they will be unveiling some of the very drastic changes that they are making within the region.

“The CEO of Metrorail will be in the region to unveil all of those improvements and some of the changes that we are starting to affect now,” added swartz.
