  • I took a trip from Johannesburg to Pretoria through the Gautrain. I was very impressed with the train, very safe clean and convenient transport system that you can use. Share with me your experience of the Gautrain.

    These look amazing. These are similar to the trains we have in the UK. We have multiple train companies which use these trains. They are great. Awesome video.

      Yes Gautrain uses Bombardier trains, I think assembly happens here in South African now.

    Great visual and narration - my advice would be to get a pop filter for your microphone to avoid the harsh sounds from pronouncing words that start with P. But otherwise informative - will definitely try this next time in SA

    I'm planning a birthday trip to Capetown from Botswana in a few months and I'm very confused about whether Uber will be better or Gautrain from the airport? and in general which mode of transport is cheaper in SA. Uber or Trains? I came across MyCiti, does it work like Gautrain and where do i board that?
    from the airport which Station do i board off for central Joburg?

    Incorrect pronunciation of Gautrain, but don't worry about it because a lot of South Africans pronounce it incorrectly as well. 😅😅 Gautrain, is derived from the province's name Gauteng, which means place of Gold. The Tswana/Sotho word for Gold is 'Gauta'. Gauta probably traces its origins back to the Afrikaans term for Gold, "Goud". Gauta and Goud have similar pronunciations of the 'G'. Hence, it's easier for Afrikaans speaking people to say Gauteng/Gautrain correctly. Full circle stuff. 😎😎
