South Africa Railway Market

South African railways consist of three separate units. These; Transnet Freight Rail (Transnet Limited), PRASA and Gautrain Management Agency. If we examine them in order:

Gautrain

Gautrain is the 80 km long public transit transit system that connects Johannesburg, Pretoria and OR Tambo International Airport. It was built because Johannesburg's public transport infrastructure was limited to eliminate traffic congestion in the Johannesburg-Pretoria traffic corridor and to offer a viable alternative to road transport for passengers.

Gauteng, the 25 Annual Integrated Transport Master Plan, will enable the integration of transport with spatial patterns, as well as integration between various modes of transport to effectively transport people. 19's new Gautrain station was in the pipeline until May 2017. The Gautrain Management Agency plans to extend the 20 km route along the 150 year, including routes crossing Randburg, Fourways and Soweto. This expansion is expected to create jobs for 211.000 people.

March A feasibility study was published at 2017. This showed that in 2025 and 2037 çalışma the cost of not doing anything çalışma in the study state, which included Gauteng's demand model for determining transport needs, would cause the main road congestion at the average 2037 km / h due to the doubling of the number of stage cars at 15.
The feasibility study identified the following main connections and Gautrain railway network expansion stations. The station connecting Jabulani via Cosmo City and Mamelodi from Samrand includes Roodepoort, Little Falls, Fourways, Sunninghill, Olievenhoutsbosch, Irene, Tshwane East and Hazeldean. The connection between Sandton and Cosmo City has a station in Randburg. The connection between Rhodesfield and Boksburg will be a station at the East Rand Mall and possible connection with the development of the OR Tambo International Airport Midfield terminal. Cosmo City to Lanseria Airport in the future is considered a new connection.

In the 2017 / 18 fiscal year, large expenditure on the capital budget transferred to PRASA was directed to the modernization process to replace signaling systems, aging wagons and improving railway infrastructure. Over the next two decades, the rail vehicle fleet renovation program, which was the catalyst for the transformation of Metrorail as a whole as part of the Government's Comprehensive Railway Program, was a major success. The three main organizations of the Railway Renewal Program to be delivered in the medium term are as follows:
