Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga is taking a train with commuters on Friday morning.
With just R7.50 cents, Soweto commuters can once again travel to the city centre, bringing much relief to their pockets.
A high school pupil from Soweto explained that using the train to get to school would make his life easier.
“This makes me happy because I’m also saving money. Taxis aren’t safe and I was spending much more than I am now.”
Another commuter, Nontombi Ncikana, said she was glad the corridor functioned again.
“I used to take a taxi from Orlando police station to the CBD, which cost R32 for both trips. But because of this train, I’m spending R15 each day on transport.”
So far, 31 of PRASA’s 40 corridors across the country have been rehabilitated.
