The train and stations are of high standard. The security is excellent and the schedule seemed to be sufficient.

Best choice to ORT (only available 6 to 8:30pm tho... needed longer) ... 16 minutes tops to get there (when it leaves to when it reaches not waiting time). On weekends it runs every 30 minutes (not ideal)

Perfect service. Hassle free. The only thing that would make the Gautrain better is if you could load money onto your card online so as to avoid the queues.

From OR Tambo airport to Sandton Central in less than 20 minutes saving over an hour in travelling and a lot of cash. Safe secure and professionally run.

Johannesburg does not have a lot of public transport choices apart from meter taxis that are expensive but the Guatrain is the best public transport you will find in JHB it’s clean safe and very reliable.

The train stations are all world class. Clean, neat and very well run. The ticket prices are not to expensive. The experience of being on the train is great. A nice 1/2 day trip to Sandton City via train.

I live to the south of Johannesburg so always drive to Sandton and take the Gautrain on business to Pretoria. Next time I'm going to try Park Station. Love the first-worldness of it. A pity that there is no colour in the stations - very cold and grey - but I understand the need for a bit of austerity after... More
