Gautrain
In June 2010, the R24bn Gautrain took to the rails for the first time, offering safe, reliable and comfortable public transport.
Less than a five-minute walk from Nelson Mandela Square, shoppers will find the Sandton Gautrain Station, currently operating between OR Tambo International Airport, Pretoria, Centurion, Park Station, Rosebank and Sandton.
Both tourists and locals are able to travel from any of these destinations quickly and comfortably. From the airport to Sandton takes a total of 12 minutes. The Gautrain now boasts the first rapid rail transport system in Africa.
