The
Public Transport Voice has condemned the acts of violence and arson attack at
the Salt River train depot on Sunday.
PTV’s
Zingisani Nkanjeni said we cannot accept that these acts are treated as mere
vandalism any more as this is an attack on public property.
Nkanjeni
said it would take from six months to a year for the damaged coaches to be
returned to operation, and that the replacement costs were “escalating beyond
Prasa’s control.
Nkanjeni
said the money would be better spent on improving services and upgrading
assets.
Nkanjeni
said we want to apologise to the people of Cape Town, because at the end of the
day, it’s the commuters who are affected.
“The thousands of commuters that rely on
public transport daily cannot continue to be held ransom by the actions of a
few criminals who have a brazen disregard for the law and the needs of others,
particularly during this matric examination period Nkanjeni added.
