Transport for Cape Town (TCT) and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) have signed a memorandum of action that will assist the City in addressing an investment strategy aimed at integrating all modes of public transport in the city. One of the infrastructure investment projects that have been prioritised is the new Blue Downs rail line to be built from Nolungile to Kuils River stations, to be operational by 2020. The proposed design for Blue Downs is a two track 11.5km line which will affect about 50 000 commuters. It also coincides with the National Treasury’s allocation of more than R120 billion to invest in commuter rail networks operated by Metrorail.
