National Department of Transport (DoT) director-general George Mahlalela says the long-mooted commuter rail corridor between Tshwane and Moloto, which may be developed jointly with the provincial governments of Gauteng and Mpumalanga is “priority number one” among all new rail lines currentl on the drawing board. At present government spends R350 million annually in subsidising workers’ bus travel between Tshwane and KwaNdebele. A feasibility study for the project has been completed, and it has been registered with the Treasury as a public-private partnership (PPP).
