Uhlelo lwe-PTC lwe-NCTD luye lwahlolwa izinyanga eziningi esitimeleni esingenzi mali esikhungweni seStuart Mesa Rail kanye nasemhubheni ongasogwini. Lokhu kuhlolwa kuhloswe ngakho ukuthuthukisa kanye nokwenza ngcono ingqalasizinda ye-PTC ngenkathi kuxazululwa noma yiziphi izinselelo ezingaba khona ngaphambi kokuthuthela ku-RSD.
"Ukuphepha kungcono kakhulu kwe-NCTD. Ukusebenzisa uhlelo oluyinkimbinkimbi njengoba lokhu kungenzeki ebusuku. Kodwa ngaleyo nkimbinkimbi kuqhuma phambili ukuphepha kwezitimela, "kusho iSekela likaMphathi wezokuPhathwa kweSitimela, u-Eric Roe.
