THE newly reintroduced urban commuter trains have been suspended following the return to a stricter Covid-19 lockdown.
The National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) suspended the affordable commuter trains last Friday insisting it was in line with the new Covid-19 regulations pronounced by Vice President and Health Minister Constantino Chiwenga early this month.
The NRZ said the decision followed the realisation that some commuters were taking advantage of the trains to evade police road blocks since trains have no police checkpoints.
NRZ public relations manager Nyasha Maravanyika Wednesday said the parastatal will be guided by the government depending on the developments on the ground.
