To access the Gautrain train or bus service, each passenger is required to possess a Gautrain Card with a minimum value of R30 loaded onto it.
Train users enjoy discounted fares on the Gautrain bus and parking services.
To qualify, passengers need to:
- Tag onto a Gautrain bus within 1 hour of exiting the station; or
- Tag into a station within 1 hour of tagging onto a Gautrain bus; or
- Exit the parking within 1 hour of using the train. Non-train users are charged standard parking fares.
Pay-As-You-Go
Pay-as-you-go is ideal for the occasional user.
Simply load your preferred pay-as-you-go value onto your Gautrain Card and the correct fare will be automatically deducted from your Card when tagging out. Any applicable discounts will also be automatically applied.
