I was most impressed by the Gautrain. It is clean, professional, operates smoothly and it gets you to the airport very quickly. Once it goes the whole way to Pretoria it is going to be even more of a hit than it already has been.
Like the World Cup critics, who were so vocal before the World Cup, the Gautrain critics have also shut up after 400 000 people caught it in the first month – way more than ever expected. The train, and using it, will run even more effectively when people preload their Gautrain gold card and preferably are able to top it up via the Internet. The only queues I had to stand in were those to buy their card and to load it up – although they really had super friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Inside the train it was clean, secure and perhaps to be expected at R100,00 a ticket, there were no “dodgy” characters wandering around.

I love using the Gautrain and I have even caught the bus to the station from my apartment which was also nice but it cost an extra R20...! :)

Once the highway tolling system is up and running, the gautrain and its busses are bound to start working overtime. Pay to use a highway which has always been free??? you must be joking...
