Mofokeng said trains would not be able to stop at all stations due to safety reasons and the severe effect of theft and vandalism. She said theft and vandalism had escalated during the lockdown.
“The main stations we will not stop at include Soshanguve, Kopanong and Akasia,” she said.
Mofokeng said the cost of the destruction of railway infrastructure and station facilities ran into millions of rand.
“Metrorail requests commuters and the local community to be patient and understanding during this time as we work hard around the clock to repair the stations to acceptable conditions for trains to stop,” she said.
She said Metrorail had social distancing markings at stations and aboard trains.
“Commuters are reminded that the country is still under lockdown level 1, therefore commuters are expected to wear a mask at all times and maintain social distance.”
