NEW CHAPTER

NEW CHAPTER: The nearly 20-year Gautrain concession agreement with the Bombela Concession Company officially ended last month. However, the Gauteng government said the public-private partnership model would continue and that there would be a seamless transition to a new operator. The Bombela Operating Company will continue to manage the Gautrain under a contractual holdover arrangement for up to six months while final negotiations with a preferred bidder are concluded. The new concessionaire will operate, maintain, refurbish, upgrade, and modernise the Gautrain system for the next 15 years.
