Metrorail commuter services will resume on 1 July on the Southern line with limited services on other lines.
Scott said services, albeit on a limited scale initially between Cape Town and Retreat, would gradually resume depending on assessments of operational readiness and the relaxation of Covid-19 public transport regulations.
Asked what precautions would be put in place to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, Scott said: "As soon as Prasa is given permission to resume Metrorail services, commuters can expect unusual service determined by Level 2 alert regulations.
"Rail commuters are advised that train services will be phased in gradually with stops only at key stations.
"These include: physical distance markers at stations, ticket sale points, platforms, trains, customer services, security and marshals."
