Gautrain Management Agency

Thank you for choosing Gautrain, South Africa's first, premier rapid rail transport system that has been built to exact international transportation and safety regulations, so you may be assured of a speedy, safe, and comfortable journey with us.

The Gautrain commenced operations in 2010 and to date we have over 120 million passengers entries at stations. With an average punctuality of 98.55%, the Gautrain is one of the most reliable passenger train services in the world - an achievement that we are exceptionally proud of. Travelling at a maximum speed of 160 kilometres per hour, it connects Hatfield station with Johannesburg Park station in approximately 42 minutes, and Sandton station with the OR Tambo International Airport in less than 15 minutes.

Gautrain operates across Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni and connects to the OR Tambo International Airport. A fleet of Gautrain buses service over twenty bus routes that provide access to nine of our ten train stations (OR Tambo excluded). Parking and drop-off facilities are available at all stations, except for the OR Tambo station. In addition, a midi-bus service provides an additional shuttle service along select routes.

We understand that in addition to your time, you value your safety and that is why we go to great lengths to safeguard both. We have over 1000 Close Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance cameras that are linked to a state-of-the-art security control room, manned by staff who are in constant communication with roaming on-site security personnel, ensuring your safety when using the Gautrain service.
