The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) says it is preparing for the resumption of the Shosholoza Meyl long-distance passenger rail service on December 15.

The preparatory work follows the termination of the service at the end of March this year owing to Covid-19.

“Given the high peak traffic volumes during the festive period and road fatalities, Shosholoza Meyl offers the public an alternative, safe and affordable mode of long-distance travel that will also help ease the congestion on our roads,” says the agency in a statement.

Routes that will be operational include between Johannesburg and East London; Johannesburg and Gqeberha; Johannesburg and Bloemfontein (via Kimberley); and Johannesburg and Musina (via Polokwane).
