We present this petition in connection with the Gauteng Metrorail Services
ISSUES TO BE PRESENTED
- Safety on trains (Security & Police)
- Safety of Passengers (No windows & Doors on some Coaches)
- Daily Delays due to faulty sets / theft
- Lack of communication
- On a daily basis Metrorail reports cable theft, panel and points out
- We propose that the Provincial government embark on an infrastructure fund for Metrorail Gauteng to fast track the backlog on infrastructure development
SOLUTIONS PROPOSAL
- Rail Police to be always available on trains
- Railway Safety Regulator to monitor state of trains before they carry commuters
- All trains should have regular patrols to reduce theft and damages to Commuters and Trains
- RSR to monitor that safety plans are followed through and implemented by Metrorail
- Imbizo for commuters by all stakeholders DOT / R.S.R / M.E.C and PRASA
Countless meetings with commuters have been held but no improvements have been laid to date. Join us in this endeavor to get the Dep. of Transport & Government to intervene in order to maintain an acceptable service to the Commuters who are fed up with the current operations

Service Delivery Intervention Request

August 7, 2018
I spent another morning waiting on a platform that felt like a danger zone while looking at the same broken train sets that have failed us for months. The silence from the authorities is deafening but your stories of the daily struggle prove we are right to demand better. I am currently compiling your accounts to present at the next meeting because they can no longer pretend this is acceptable.

Seeing this movement grow reminds me of the countless mornings I spent stranded on a platform wondering if I would even make it to work safely. Your engagement proves that we are finally ready to demand the reliable service we deserve.

Please improve the service of PRASA as we are always expected to have tickets. Can this lateness of trains stop and test trains before departure time. A train can not be faulty exactly by depart time. Trains being tested and diagnosed early can be fixed on time to avoid lateness.
Comments Train need to have speakers inside for faulty announcements and we're tired of all changes trains at Germiston and Elandsfontein even stop and go's after Germiston and kaalfontein
Solution Let Prasa executives commute with train to their air conditioned offices and see if they will survive the service they are subjecting us to...
Prasa service is non existent. Service is poor and communication is even worse. We buy monthly tickets. When the service failed, we do not get reimbursed for this even.
Please fix the train they are delaying us nd cost us our jobs I have written warning because of late coming nd we need security nd police protection in our train because of the crime rates in our trains we are not safe in the morning during the day nd in the afternoon
Let's work together to change our nation.

I feel like PRASA doesn't respect us (commuters).why I say so, because everyday in the morning trains gets delayed almost in every robot but during get the day they don't wait for those authorisation they claim they are waiting for. Worse of it they don't communicate if there is no trains
