High speed train to and from the airport. The Gautrain is fast, (under 15 minutes from Rosebank to O.R Tambo), safe, clean and efficient and a wonderful timesaver for transport to and from the airport. Running times:
Gaubuses operate between Sandton and Rosebank weekdays only For general information on the Gautrain see www.gautrain.co.za/about/ Johannesburg taxi services There are NO roaming taxis that can be 'hailed' from the roadside. Although locals use mini-bus taxis, these are largely unregulated and require too much local knowledge to be used by visitors. So you will need to phone for a taxi or cab. There are many reliable and safe taxi companies who operate 24 hours a day. Probably the best for local transfers is Roses Taxis at a charge of R11 per km with a minimum charge of R50:Probably the best for local transfers is Rainbow Cabs 08 6060 6161 www.rainbow-cabs.co.za Their minimum charge is R60 for 6km and then R10 per km after that. Roses Taxis charge R12 per km with a minimum charge of R50 (but this charge only applies to a trip within the same suburb – so always check the rate before): 011 403-9625; 0861 8294 222. Others such as PWV and Maxi Taxi charge a set fee of R80 plus for local trips. Some of the drivers do not carry maps and might not know the location of your destination, so try to get directions beforehand to give the driver. There is little other effective and usable public transport for visitors to Joburg.

The local company operates out of Parkhurst 0860 885 885 www.tuktuksa.co.za They charge R35 for the 1st 5 km and then R8 per km after that. So for short distances this is a really viable and cost-effective option. Currently however they are very busy on Friday and Saturday evenings so don’t count on immediate availability during these times. Air travel There are 2 international airports serving Johannesburg.
