SA Rail System Open for Private Investment
Transport Minister Barbara Creecy has announced a significant milestone in the revamping of the country's rail system.
The department is releasing requests for information to attract private sector investment in the passenger rail system, focusing on four key areas.
"We are opening the door for private sector partners to help us turn that network into a source of income by offering broadband and digital services, while strengthening safety and real-time communication across the rail system,"
she said. The project aims to introduce smart ticketing for seamless travel, allowing for a single tap and go ticket to be used across trains, buses, and taxis.
