Shosholoza Meyl is a division of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) that operates long-distance (intercity) passenger rail services. It operates various train routes across South Africa,〔http://www.spoornet.co.za/ShosholozaMeyl/index.jsp?link=Train%20Routes〕 carrying approximately 4 million passengers annually.〔http://www.transnet.co.za/BrowserDefault.aspx?tabid=599〕 Before 2009, Shosholoza Meyl was a division of Spoornet, but it was transferred after the formation of PRASA. "Shosholoza" is the name of a popular South African song about workers on a train and it therefore means moving forward. "Meyl" is a word that is related to a South African word for "long distance train", according to the Spoornet/Shosholoza Meyl website. The company's name prior to change was "Mainline Passenger Services". In August 2010, Shosholoza Meyl suspended services claiming either contract difficulties (between Transnet and Prasa) or unreliable trains. Some services began to resume in November 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-10-31 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-11-27 )〕 ==Routes== Shosholoza Meyl operates the following routes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Routes )〕 *Johannesburg – Kimberley – Cape Town *Johannesburg – Pietermaritzburg – Durban *Johannesburg – Bloemfontein – Port Elizabeth *Johannesburg – Bloemfontein – East London *Johannesburg – Nelspruit – Komatipoort *Johannesburg – Polokwane – Musina *Cape Town – Kimberley – Bloemfontein – Pietermaritzburg – Durban *Cape Town – East London 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shosholoza Meyl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
