number of trains that runs on time (timekeeping). The figures present the average for
the corridor for the period April 2005 to March 2006. The norm for Wits Metrorail
regarding train punctuality is that a minimum of 90% of the services must run on time.
The condition of the rolling stock is by far the biggest problem w ith regard to train
delays and no real improvement can be affected without addressing the rolling stock
condition.
