No sweat. Here's our Gautrain guide for beginners. The Timetables All stations open and close at different times. Can all this be paid via credit card? Yes you buy a Gautrain "gold card" and load as much value on it as you need. You don't have to top up the card for each journey separately: if you know upfront what journeys you'll be doing, you can load the total amount on the card in one go.
You can't use the same card for more than one person for the same journey though. Foreign credit cards may be an issue at the "ticket" machines they don't like my South African-issued Amex card , but there's a "ticket office" at every station. Thank all for the clear advice. I like to get as much info in advance as possible.
I hate to be stumbling around an airport figuring out what to do! Just go to the ticket desk to the right of the barrier as you enter the Gautrain station at the airport. You can then just tell them what you want. It's what I did when I didn't have a clue what I was doing! Thanks for the explanation. I have guests who need to know - something that is not clear to me, at least - that you can pay for your travel on Gautrain at any station. Dave, there are three options or two, depending how you look at it.
The first they call "pay as you go", and is purely the activity of putting value on the card - any amount up to around R2, This is what is utilised whenever you use the card, on the train or bus or for parking. The bus is a set rate, deducted when you tag onto the bus; for the train or for parking, when you tag out the system computes the length of the journey, or the time parked, and deducts value accordingly. So the process of using the card is not linked to where and when you loaded value on it.
Pay as you go doesn't expire - or not for a long time. The other options are the 7- and day passes: "season tickets" between two specified stations. These have different rules, but I can't see m any tourists using these options so I won't bore with details.
Much faster and efficient than busses or taxi's. I ride the Gautrain on a regular basis. It is clean, fast and efficient. Good, Clean, Fast - Cheaper than Uber to the airport and you dont need to walk far!
