The preliminary investigation confirms the following:
Consequently, the RSR has issued PRASA with a Prohibition Directive. The Directive prohibits all Shozaloza Meyl operations with immediate effect.
The safety of commuters and the workforce is our utmost priority. The RSR will ensure that PRASA honours this prohibition and manages it in such a manner that improves levels of safety before the RSR will lift the prohibition. The RSR, therefore, recommends a Board of Inquiry (BOI) with the main objective of determining the facts of the occurrence, the immediate and underlying causes, and will make recommendations with the intent to prevent or reduce the risk of similar occurrences.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
