Prasa launches the central line
Vukani
|June 12, 2025
The relaunch of the Central Line corridor from Chris Hani Station in Khayelitsha marks significant progress in efforts to fully restore this vital rail service for commuters and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa).
This was the key message delivered by Transport MEC Barbara Greecy on Thursday May 29.
Ms Creecy said the Central Line, when operating at full capacity, accounts for 350,000 of Cape Town's 685 900 daily passenger trips.
The line was opened after extensive repair works on stations, substations, overhead traction electrification systems and more.
Ms Creecy said she believes that once the line is fully restored, many people will return to using it.
Currently, two trains an hour are operating on the Central Line, but as signalling capacity improves, the aim is to run up to six trains an hour.
