Cape Town’s Train Uprising: Inside the Audacious Plan to Rescue a Derailed City

16 December 2025 by CapeTownNewsReader

Cape Town is trying to fix its broken train system, which stopped working in 2021. The city wants to take over the train lines, buy new trains, and make the stations better. They hope to have 240,000 people riding trains every day in three years and 600,000 in seven years. This big plan will cost a lot of money, and there are many challenges like money, legal stuff, and dealing with taxi drivers and workers. The next few months will decide if Cape Town can make its trains run again.
