PUBLIC TRANSPORT: PRICE INCREASE CAUSES UPSET
Train fare hike ‘unfair’TAMMY PETERSEN
T THE planned train fare increase hascommuters derailed.They are demanding that Metrorail
get their act on track and give them a serv-ice worthy of a price hike.Come next month, those purchasing
monthly tickets will pay between R7 andR45 more, while weeklies will cost betweenR3 and R5 extra. A single train ticket willcost 50c more and returns will rise by R1.Metrorail’s regional manager
Mthuthuzeli Swartz considers the increaseas “pro-poor”.“We were very conscious of the soaring
cost of living and imposed a modest in-crease as a result,” he says.The subsidy received from government
barely covers half the cost of operating therail service, Swartz explains.“The last financial year it cost us R1,2 bil-
lion rand to operate trains just in the West-ern Cape. By clamping down on fare dodg-ers, closing stations and conducting specialactions on trainswehavemanaged to recov-erR160million randmore than thepreviousfinancial year, exceeding our revenue tar-get by R8 million.”But external factors including increases
in the cost of energy, personnel, mainte-nance material and safety-critical and stat-utory compliance accounted for the majori-ty of the region’s expenses.Commuters are unimpressed by the
planned price hike.The train service provider has “a fine
cheek” to push up the fares of a “life-threat-ening service”, Mariam Jacobs says.She has resorted to leaving all her valua-
bles at home after being robbed on the traintwice this year alone.
“The funny thing is it happened duringpeak hour,” she says wryly.“The first time the guy pulled out a knife
and demanded my wedding ring and cell-phone, and about a month later a laaitiegrabbed and ripped my grandmother’schain frommyneck. Someof thepassengerstried to chase afterhimbuthegot awayeasi-ly.”The “missing in action” security officers
are nothing but “cowards in uniform” thatare never there when you need them,Jacobs adds.“Off-peak times, you find them stretched
out on the seats, taking a nap. Ten points,Metrorail;what away tomakeyour custom-ers feel safe.”Reagan Francis has been using rail trans-
port for two years as it is the cheapest wayfor him to get to work. But if he would havebeen able to afford a priciermode, he wouldmake the change in a heartbeat.“Right now we are travelling on a mobile
robbery hotspot becausewe have no choice.Commuters are sitting ducks because secu-rity guards are not half as visible as theyshould be,” he says.“If they should say the increase is going
towards employing additional security of-ficers, I will happily cough up. You put yourlife in danger by setting foot in a carriage,but if you can’t afford anything better, it’sa chance you have to take.”But Swartz points out that Metrorail has
increased their Protection Services compli-ment by 300 security members. A total ofR12 million is spent on security everymonth across the province.“We now have 1000 Protection Services
employees, about 800 contracted guardsfrom five different companies and 400 Rail-way Police officers protecting trains and
stations,” he says.Vandalism remains rife in certain areas,
Swartz says, and the protection of vulnera-ble assets resulted in an “extra-ordinarymaintenance burden”.But, he continues, Metrorail has “aggres-
sively implemented” an action plan to “ar-rest the decline in service levels” over thelast year.Factory worker Shireen Ebrahim scoffs
at the “so-called improvement strategy”.“Not a week goes by without me getting
to work late at least twice,” she says.“There are only so many times that the
bosses will turn a blind eye. They havestarted clocking my hours, causing a de-crease in my wages.”Just last week, she says, it took her two
hours to get home owing to train delays.“I would be happy to pay extra if the serv-
ice was reliable, safe and up to standard.But right now, I don’t even think they de-serve a cent of my hard-earned money.Their service stinks.”Despite the never-ending stream of com-
plaints from disgruntled commuters, plansare in motion to improve the rail service.Among these developments are 33 addi-
tional trains taking to the tracks.A comprehensive programme of con-
structionwill also start soon to upgrade sta-tions and infrastructure to be completed by2015 when the first new trains are expected.

OPERATION DEMOLITION: ‘VARIOUS IRREGULARITIES’ FOUND IN PROCESS
Athlone Towers tender revisitedCARRYN-ANN NEL
THE City of Cape Town will continue le-gal action against engineering compa-ny Aurecon, which was involved in the
cleaning of the Athlone Cooling Towers.The City says although neither it, its offi-
cials or Aurecon were dishonest at anystage, there were definitely “irregularities”in the leading up to the awarding of the ten-der to the company.Aurecon South Africa was responsible for
the cleaning of the obsolete Athlone CoolingTowers. The contract was worth aroundR10m.The City wants the Western Cape High
Court to review its decision regarding theawarding of the tender on 31 October 2011.In court documents the City refers to “var-
ious irregularities” in the process of theevaluation of applications, as well as the fi-nal awarding of the tender.The view is based on an investigation by
Ernst & Young, conducted on instruction bycouncil.A final report was handed over to the City
in October last year.Meanwhile, this reporter ascertained that
Aurecon “definitely” opposes the lawsuit.It still needs to file court documents in re-
sponse, after which a court date will be set.In a sworn affidavit the City’s director of
supply chainmanagement, LeonardShnaps,states the City had the necessary authorityto apply for a review of such a decision, espe-cially when an administration law has beenconducted irregularly.He adds that a public body is then not only
entitled to, but also compelled, to raise thematter in court.Shnaps also emphasised that no fraud, dis-
honesty or corruptionwas committed by theCity, its employees or Aurecon.However, according to the investigation
there were “incidents of thoughtless behav-iour” at various stages of the process.One of the reasons Shnaps uses as an ex-
ample is that Aurecon had an unfair advan-tage in the awarding of the tender.The City is also internally dealing with
matters of concern highlighted by the inves-tigation.“The City views the irregularities in the
manner in which the tender was awarded ina serious light. Disciplinary action has al-ready commenced against some officials.
This process is ongoing, but I have been in-formed this information does not need to bemade known in this court application.”

REWARDED: FOR BEING A NIGHTINGALE
Giving her allto nurse othersNADINE MOODIE
GOING ABOVE and beyond the call ofduty for others is no easy task whenyour private life reflects your work
situation.This has been the case for registered
nurse Amber Rockman who works at LifeVincent Pallotti Hospital in Pinelands andwho is one of this year’s Florence Nightin-gale Award winners.Rockman was awarded this prize for go-
ing above and beyond the call of duty, andwas singled out by her peers for her com-mitment to caring for others.The ICU unit manager at Life Vincent
Pallotti, Sister Joy Herman says Rockmanmeets the criteria for the award and has ex-perienced a lot of growth.“She leads her team and is a good role
model for other nurses. She just shines andis a real gem to the nursing community,”she says.Rockman who forgot about the nomina-
tion says she was shocked and very excitedwhen Bio-Oil visited the hospital and an-nounced her achievement.She was raised by her grandparents and
decided to pursue anursing career after shespent some time taking care of her grandfa-ther who suffered from diabetes and highblood pressure.“I enjoy being a nurse, and seeing people
smile after being ill, as well as seeing pa-tientsmove from ICU to sections in the hos-pital that require less intensive care,” sheexplains.In March, Rockman lost her son, Caden,
who underwent his third open-heart sur-
gery on his first birthday, and never recov-ered from the operation.“It was tough dealing with my son’s ill-
ness and death, but it gave me a lot of expe-rience being a parent in this situation,” shesays.“Itwas difficult forme to be at his bedside
when I knew exactly what the numbers andgraphs on the machines stood for, andknowing that I could do nothing, becausethere I was the parent, and not the nurse,”she says softly.Rockman sees a great future for herself
in nursing.“I’m still going to be a bedside nurse for
a while, but in the meantime I’m studyingmanagement courses, with the hope of be-coming a unit manager in due time.”

JAMMIE SHUTTLE: STUDENTS HAD TO ADJUST
UCT didn’t brake for bus strikeNADINE MOODIE
THE Jammie Shuttle service isexpected to be in full operationtoday, after the three-week
long bus driver strike ended yester-day.The service, which caters forUCT
students and staff, had been operat-ing with skeleton staff since thecommencement of strike.For students who use this free
service, the strike had handed theman irregular time table, but the safe-ty of the drivers, students and staffhad taken preference.Last week the university’s stu-
dent publication, Varsity tweeted:“Claremont Jammie Shuttle servic-es have been stopped due to strikerspicketing in the area. Other skele-ton services continue”.Deputy chairperson of UCT SRC,
Keenan Hendrickse said: “Jammiedrivers were not wearing uniformsto work, as some were attacked, by(striking bus drivers), at theirhomes and on their way to work.”However, not all Jammie drivers
are unionised, nor had they com-plained about being harassed andnone were attacked by bus driverson strike, said UCT’s director forproperties and services John Crit-ien.He added the main reason behind
the irregular time table was to en-sure that the lives of students andstaff were not endangered.The Jammie Shuttle service cir-
cles the university radius and alsotransports students to areas be-tween Claremont and Cape Town.Hendrickse said the hiccup in
normal operations had been “un-pleasant”, as extra waiting timeneeded to be calculated into users’schedules.“In the past students had to wait
between five and 10 minutes, but(during the strike) you could’ve ex-pected to wait at a Jammie stop forup to 30 minutes. This was not idealwhen you had a test or an exam toget to,” he said.StudentAnnelieMaré said sheus-
es the service regularly and thelongest she’s had to wait is 15 min-
utes.“I don’tmindwaiting for the shut-
tle that long. I’m really surprisedthat the university kept the busesrunning during the strike. Commu-nication about the frequency of theservice was very good and delayswere communicated to students viaemail and social media.”Another student, Shannon
Franks, said she had to wait for upto one hour for the shuttle.Critien said the frequency of the
service had been lengthened andstudents who live close to the uni-versity were encouraged to walk totheir destinations.“We increased security patrols in
areas where the Jammie Shuttlehad scaled down, because the safetyof students and staff (always) comesfirst,” he said.At the time of going to print,
Sibanye, the bus company whichprovides bus drivers for the servicefailed to respond to a media querysent by People’s Post.V SMS your views to 32516. SMSes arecharged at R1,00.
The popular Jammie Shuttle service was on a goslow since thecommencement of the national bus driver’s strike three weeks ago. Theservice is expected to be in full operation today (Tuesday).
