Critical state-owned company rising from the ashes

• PRASA's monthly passenger numbers have returned to pre-pandemic levels, reaching 10.5 million in March 2026.
• The company's comeback is attributed to the restoration of 35 of its 40 passenger rail lines, with 70% of these lines operating a full passenger rail service.
• PRASA's recovery is a positive sign for the South African transport system, but the company still faces challenges in providing reliable services to its customers.
