32. ESectionCHALLENGES

33. Challenges33Status of service roads/ rail reserveOpenness of rail environment – non-exsitance of fencingLittle or no access control to and from stationsLittle or no communication from PRASA to commuters wrt train cancellation and or delaysCancellations / delays of trainsShortening of train sets leads to over crowding on the trainsPower failures / weather conditionsCommuter behaviourIncrease of service delivery actionsMetrorail Protection Services members – operational without SOP’s (not effective)Metrorail Protection Services members – operational without uniform (50%)

34. Challenges34Supervisory capacity not part of Contracted Security requirementsAll Security (MPS & contract security ) not briefed and deployed jointly CCTV camera’s not seen as priorityTicket Offices not being open when train are runningSquatters in the rail reserve not being addressed timeouslyLimited communication between Metrorail / Prasa and Transnet Operational rooms wrt train burning incidents – cutting of power to extinguish the fire – huge delaysStandby Technicians not centralizedFire fighting equipment not readily available at all stationsState of Rolling Stock – no windows / lights in trains / seatsInconsistent paying of the Contracted Security Guards Policing of trains during peak hours

35. Challenges35“defensive measures” - refer to pro-active tactical measures such as static barriers (which are used to protect and safeguard people or property), negotiation, cordon, block, isolate, patrol, escort and canalize“offensive measures” - refers to reactive tactical measures required to normalize a situation which ranges from making arrests, using of pyrotechnics to responding with firearms and includes search and seizure, push back, evacuation, encircling and dispersal.
