While the Gibela factory in Gauteng has started to steadily produce new, made-in-South Africa trains for the Metrorail system in South Africa, it appears it may take some time before these trains all start carrying passengers. The Gibela Rail Transport Consortium is to deliver 600 new trains (3 600 cars) to the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA), in a R59-billion deal signed in 2014. This deal forms part of a 20-year, R172-billion programme to improve the Metrorail service in South Africa on the whole, including signalling systems and station infrastructure.
