Angry

SA passengers burn trains

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

South African

commuter trains typically carry about 1,000 passengers

 

 

 

Rail

passengers angry at service delays torched at least 26 train carriages near Johannesburg on Wednesday evening.

Carriages were burnt at three different locations south of the

city, causing 200m rand ($30m) worth of damage.

The arson followed service delays reportedly caused by technical

faults. A shortage of trains has now caused services on one route to be

suspended.

It was the second time in a week that trains have been torched

because of poor services.
