Gautrain warning

The Automobile Association warned that the Gautrain is a financial train wreck and that any expansion must be stopped.
 
Nonsense. Any train service that's properly maintained and provides the ability to move people in a city around is a bonus and has benefits. Yes if you compare it to the normal old rail there's no point keeping those. But Gautrain has kept the standard up well and if it can connect even more areas its a good thing.
 
How can it be a train wreck if it hasn't crashed, bit of a misinformation there
 
The Gautrain is one of the few things we have from all the world cup billions.

Keep improving it.

What's the vested interest that the AA has to see the Gautrain not expand? Does it mean there will be less cars/traffic so it would hit their bottom line in terms of membership?
This crap about not serving most of the population is absolute horse twaddle. It serves the middle class and rightly so. Since the middle class are paying majority of the taxes in the country why should the middle class not benefit from the taxes here.

Any expansion of the current Gautrain service is wasteful expenditure on a service that doesn’t service the needs of most of Gauteng’s citizens,” the AA said.
people get to work in a convenient way from Pretoria to jhb CBD and vice versa. How is that not meeting a need.
