2019, is an extension of the Cape Town to Langa service on the Central Line and
will stop at Bonteheuwel and Langa stations as refurbishment work continues at
Netreg and Heideveld stations.
‘’Commuters must note that the train will depart from
Nyanga station to Mutual station, where commuters will be able to connect to a
train to Cape Town. Commuters travelling to Cape Town via Pinelands can connect
with the train numbers that start with ‘95’ from Langa to Cape Town. Commuters
will also be able connect to the Northern Corridor (Bellville, Kraaifontein,
Eerste Rivier and Wellington),’’ said Zino Mihi, acting provincial spokesperson
for Metrorail.
‘’As the region, we are happy to fulfil our obligations as
a community-driven service provider of mass public transportation within the
Cape Town Metropole, in particular the lower and middle-income customers. The
Central Line is one of our biggest contributors to revenue collection and our
commuter base,’’ added Mihi.
