The information was provided, this Thursday, by António Coelho da Cruz, chairman of the Board of Directors (PCA) of CFM, who, assuring that the circulation plan will take place daily, said that the value of the ticket is still being studied.

Speaking to Angop, the CEO of the company also said that, in a first phase, services will be provided for a hundred passengers, whose number may be changed according to demand. Furthermore, the official - who added that the said services will also reach Cuando Cubango - also said that passenger transport between Moçâmedes-Bibala and Huíla had been stopped for two years.

António Coelho da Cruz admitted that the company's "big objective" is to "continue to grow" gradually. "Our main objective is to continue to grow gradually, since the prices to be practiced will be stipulated thinking about the pockets of citizens with financial difficulties", he said, quoted by Angop.

The company's growth strategy, he added, also plans to resume the circulation of the tourist train, on a monthly basis, between Namibe and Cuando Cubango, writes Angop.

The person in charge also took the opportunity to point out that the company has freight locomotives that transport granite. It will also be from next month that that number will increase, with the passage from three to six carriages, after the purchase of another 42 carriages that the company will receive, refers to Angop.

In addition, he also made it known that CFM plans to start transporting pig iron next week, as well as increasing "the volume of fuel transfer between Namibe-Lubango and Cuando Cubango".
