Catch the Gautrain from the airport to the city, it's fast efficient and clean. Security guards patrol the carriages so I felt safe as a woman traveller coming to Jo'burg for the first time. Fare R230 to Rosebank from OT airport. More

Well run, except for the queues for tickets when the machines were faulty, but this was just after the 2010 World cup so there were still teething problems. Prices are also quite steep. I think it should be more affordable so more people can experience it and become regular users. More

A 12-15 minute trip from JNB-O.R. Tambo International Airport to Sandton. The roundtrip adult fare (including card) is R230. No more worries about guessing how bad the traffic jams will be! What a wonderful addition to Johannesburg! More

Excellent train service! Beautiful, clean coaches, that take you from Johannesburg International Airport to all the best hotels in Johannesburg (Sandton) within about 15 minutes. The route has also been extended now, which allows trips from the airport (via Sandton), to Pretoria, and vice versa. I believe this to be the best way of getting from and to these hotels... More

I used the Gautrain to OR Tambo International Airport from Hatfield (and back) during a recent business trip. It was very convenient and I enjoy having this option for travelling to and from the airport. More
