The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport and Gautrain Management Agency are calling on members of the public for reviewing and submitting written comments on the Draft Route Determination Report for the Soweto Extension and Cosmo City Junction of the proposed Gauteng Rapid Rail Integrated Network (GRRIN) Extensions. 
This follows the approval of the publishing of the draft report for public comments by the Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, as prescribed by section 6(3) of the Gauteng Transport Infrastructure Act. 
The following is a broad description of the proposed route for the Soweto Extension and Cosmo City Junction:
Little Falls Station to Jabulani Station (Soweto) through Roodepoort Station
Cosmo City Station to Samrand Station through Fourways Station, Sunninghill Station and Olievenhoutbosch Station
Cosmo City Station to Lanseria Station through Cradle Station and Smart City Station
As highlighted by Premier Panyaza Lesufi during the recent State of the Province Address, this rail extensions project is a transformative initiative aimed at fostering economic growth and inclusion.
The Draft Route Determination Report includes the Preliminary Route Alignment Report, which details the proposed routes and station locations for the Soweto Extension and Cosmo City Junction of the GRRIN extensions project, and an Environmental Investigation Report. 
Reports will be available for public review and comment, in writing, from 26 February 2025 until 31 March 2025, at www.gautengrapidrail.co.za . 
Hard copies of the reports can be obtained from the Gautrain Management Agency's office by prior arrangement, email extensions@gautengrapidrail.co.za to request collection.
"I urge all stakeholders, as well as interested and affected parties, to take this opportunity to make written submissions. Your feedback matters and is critical to the process" said the MEC.
