A gentleman took to his TikTok account and showed how a train in Gauteng was overloaded.
According to @percymod, he captured the video on 14 August 2024. The train was boarding from Mamelodi Gardens to Koedeospoort. The passengers squeezed themselves into the train.
Because of the overload, the train door couldn't close. A security had to push people in and close the train door manually. The TikTok user urged the Prasa group to add more trains on the route because there are too many passengers for the few trains that go that route.
