Public transport in Cape Town has yet again issues

The state of the public transport in Cape Town is becoming worse and worse.

A bit more than two weeks ago there was a derailed train. The official press release says there is an "infrastructure problem" and nothing about yet another train set out of service and hours of waiting. The derailing came from other sources and from yet another source I heard that the driver said that a wheel came off. The press release just said that it will take up to 14 days to fix. Nobody utters a word about when the damaged train set will be running again r how bad the damage is. People need to know more details to plan accordingly. This is also why people stormed the Metrorail management offices.
There is of course that well known public secret that Metrorail is lacking engineers which means this was bound to happen.

Yesterday morning I heard about an unplanned MyCiti bus driver strike. Yesterday evening a diesel engine stood on the tracks because it ran out of fuel from what I understand. The tracks are shared between industrial and commuter trains and commuter trains have a schedule and a lot of people are affected. This kind of bad planning is not acceptable on a shared system. I was on the second train stuck behind that diesel engine and there was of course no announcement about what is going on. A lot of people were angry about this mess.
