Low passenger numbers because costs too much for the average joe that would actually benefit from using the service.

I have never been on the train, is it really not doing well? Do people not use them? I hear a lot of people that say they do.

Define: "a lot".

I have used it a few times from ORT to Sandton - it just costs too much and serves only a limited number of commuters.

Despite the minibus taxi industry carrying over 80% of South Africa’s public transport users, it receives no direct operational subsidies from the state.

Oh get fugged. Zero tax paid and grants for new vehicles - they don't need more.
