SARAJEVO With only eight passengers on board, a train bound for Zagreb left Sarajevo on Sunday, marking the reopening of the railway line between the two capitals which was closed nine years ago at the start of the 1992-95 Bosnia War. "It will take some time until people get used to having a rail line to Zagreb, but we expect many more passengers once that happens given that this is really the cheapest way of transportation," the information clerk at Sarajevo's railway station told AFP.
