“AWESOME WORK”
Mbalula explained that social distancing markers, electronic health scanners, and frequent disinfection would help keep Gautrain travelers safe.
He said he was pleased with the measures being implemented to keep Gautrain travelers safe: “They have disinfectants when they enter the cabin, but beyond the trains they are disinfected. It is an impressive job. “
He arrived at Hatfield station on Monday morning to inspect buses, ferries, and rail cars as train services resume.
Electronic health scanners read travelers’ thermal temperatures and spray them with disinfectant, which lasts about an hour.
The train’s operating hours are 5 a.m. at 12 a.m. and after 3 p.m. at 7 p.m.
