These shocking scenes of a Cape Town commute by train are a fact of life for many youths in the South African city.

Video filmed by a local motorist shows passengers hanging off the side of the moving train.

The local rail system serves 700,000 people a day - but is meant to serve only 200,000, according to local reports.

Approximately 230 people die in train-related accidents annually, mostly due to human error and neglect, local media has previously reported, citing Metrorail figures.
