TRAIN SERVICE
PRASA The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) runs the metropolitan railway system in Johannesburg and links the city to nearby cities and towns in the vicinity. Its densest passenger routes serve the black townships around the city's outskirts, such as Soweto, Tembisa and those of the West and East Rand metropolitan areas. The latest routes and fares are at the moment unavailable as their website is under development.
GAUTRAIN Information about the rapid underground Gautrain service can be found at the bottom left of this page. AIR TRANSPORT Is available in the form of passenger jet transport services - as well as other smaller planes for hire - at two public international airports serving the city, viz. the O.R. Tambo as well as Lanseria International Airports. Do bear in mind that except for South African Airways (SAA), all other operators, be they of large jetliners, business jets, helicopters or propeller-driven craft, do so in the private transport sector. *** *** *** |
