When Metrorail trains are allowed to operate again on Wednesday, the Eastern Cape will be running a reduced service as determined by level 2 lockdown regulations in East London and Port Elizabeth.
Trains would operate between 5.15am and 7.30pm, Prasa spokesperson Mimi Katsio said on Tuesday.
Commuters were advised to consider other transport modes as limited tickets would be sold.
Services will be phased in gradually with stops only at key stations. Less used stations will not re-open initially.
