The National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) has suspended the urban commuter train temporarily, owing to capacity challenges, the railways firm has announced.
NRZ Public Affairs and Stakeholder Relations Manager Andrew Kunambura said in a statement that the suspension is with effect from Monday.
“The suspension was occasioned by an unsustainable operating environment arising from huge debts owed to NRZ by Zupco. NRZ was therefore left with no option but to suspend commuter trains from 28 November due to capacity challenges. Normal services will resume once Zupco fulfills its obligations as set in the agreement.
The urban commuter train service was launched in partnership with the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco) last year to ease congestion in the major cities of Harare and Bulawayo at the height of the Covid-19 crisis.
The commuter trains also helped ease transport challenges that had become a part of the major cities.
