So, similarly, with passenger trains, they are all loss-making. > When we introduced the passenger trains to Luveve, we had to use the coaches that were introduced in the 50s and 60s. > They are in a very poor state. We just selected the best and they are the ones that are running. > The government in 1997 promised to give railways money to support the passenger trains but they have not been in a position to do that. It is a burden we have to carry. > We had discussions with the ministry of finance and explained to them the losses we are making. > We also went to the ministry of transport and demonstrated our figures and the papers are now with the ministry of finance. > We are operating with the expectation that the ministry will consider the issue of commuter trains. *More: NewZimbabwe.com* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
