The Gautrain system provides you with a safe, comfortable and reliable train service, a dedicated bus system, as well as drop-off and parking facilities at all stations (except at OR Tambo International Airport). These services are fully integrated and may be used separately or jointly by transferring from one to another. The services are all accessed by means of your Gold Card. Additional services include car rental facilities at Johannesburg Park Station, Sandton- and Pretoria Stations.

The timetables are only indicative and can change without prior notice.

Absolutely horrendous. The app is incredibly slow. The train schedules on the app are outdated and have not been updated in years so almost all of the times shown are wrong. The balance shown for your card is also wrong and refuses to update at all. It takes multiple days for a payment to go through on the app so I would recommend topping up at a station. There is no point in using this app since nothing works and it will simply complicate your Gautrain experience further. 1 star is too high.

App is actually slower since last update. Also checking out with more than one item does not work. Had to go through a refund process that took a week due to the app's shortcomings. The maps can definitely be optimized for the bus tracking etc. Signing in also takes some time. At least I can get the info I am looking for but still a pain to get to that point.

Initially it looked good, but using it frequently is a bit of a pain: - the intro screen takes extremely long to load and it's just for a pretty picture - nothing useful. - when you want to look at the schedules, it only shows a few lines around the current time - one has to click and download repeatedly to find departure times a bit later in the day. Very frustrating. - it's very difficult to find schedules on another day. It's better to wait until you can download the PDF's on a PC.
