Gautrain capacity-expansion measures advancing

Several key capacity-expansion projects are under way to enhance the operational capacity of the existing Gautrain rapid rail link system, says transport provider Gautrain Management Agency (GMA). “In the short term, GMA aims to increase the parking capacity at its stations. The second step is to obtain new rolling stock and the third step is to expand the system in terms of the recently completed Gauteng 25-Year Integrated Transport Master Plan (ITMP25) to increase public-transport coverage,” GMA CEO Jack van der Merwe tells Engineering News.
