2 apps0 essential

Gautrain

Nice to have

The app for Gauteng province's rapid rail system connecting Johannesburg, Pretoria, and OR Tambo International Airport. Check schedules, plan routes, and stay updated on service alerts. The Gautrain is the fastest way from the airport to Sandton.

Pro tip: Take the Gautrain from OR Tambo Airport to Sandton or Rosebank to skip Johannesburg's traffic entirely. The ride takes about 15 minutes and costs a fraction of a taxi fare.

MyCiti

Nice to have

Cape Town's integrated rapid transit bus service app. Plan routes, check schedules, and find stops for the MyCiti bus network that connects the city center, the V&A Waterfront, Table View, and other key areas.

Pro tip: The MyCiti bus from the Civic Centre to the V&A Waterfront is a cheap and scenic way to get around central Cape Town. Buy a myconnect card at any station to tap and ride.
