Officials suspended services on the central line after a security guard was killed by unidentified suspects during an armed robbery at the Chris Hani station in Khayelitsha last week.
According to a report on IOL, Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott confirmed that the central train services were still closed, as labour issues remained unresolved.
Said Scott: “Current alternative arrangements continue. No single, returns, weekly tickets will be sold and monthly train ticket holders may use Golden Arrow buses off-peak (after 8.30am and again after 6pm).”
