Thank you. I enjoyed your Gautrain "adventure". I live in Jozi and have never been on it! You've motivated me to take the Gautrain to Pretoria just for the experience (I normally drive).

@@FreddyDreams Not really, Gautrain was built from scratch, on it's own new dedicated tracks, tunnels, stations, parkings and buses. So it's not reliant on Metrorail at all. It costs more but modern and convenient.

The train is very safe and reliable (just check the operating hours because they don't run 24hours and have humans "driving" them). In some stations there are conflicts between Uber and metered cab drivers - so at Park Station and Centurion, it's hard to request an Uber outside.

There’s a feasibility study and proposal that government (transport department) put together for a speed train between Johannesburg and Durban…I remember reading about it, my sister is a civil engineer in Pretoria and she was doing some research or other . Think it was commissioned by Mbeki’s administration and Zuma tried to revive it. In time it will happen

@FreddyDreams 10 ай бұрын

Jozi north of CBD didn't have rail infrastructure so Gautrein is to give it infrastructure. It's also part of the overall rail in Gauteng along with Metrorail that's why Park Station & Pretoria Station are interchange stations with Metrorail. It needs to expand and similar projects in other cities are also needed.

@Livinginsatv 10 ай бұрын

They are on their way there. I was actually surprised with the upgrades being done on the metro rail stations. We will have lots of great news until the end of the year.

@howardm-h2936 8 ай бұрын

very smart, clean and modern... not dissimilar to the UK setup (although probably a lot newer). In the UK you can get to just about every city, town or village by train.... they are convenient but are cheap... they do have problems, especially with the unions constantly going on strike... I take it this trip was done out of peak time as the carriages were empty... how affordable is this for the average person.. how much would that same journey cost by 'mini bus taxi'?

The title is misleading. The Gautrain is not a bullet train.

In an african continent point of view it is. And these ones are speed limited. There is no need to go more than 160kms per hour. Maybe one day if they extend the project to other provinces beyond Gauteng.🇿🇦🏆✔️

A high speed train (or Bullet train) is classified as 250km/h or higher. Calling Gautrain a bullet train is pure click bait. Morocco has a proper high speed rail which will be joined by Egypt's new system shortly. I appreciate your coverage of rail as South Africa needs more positive news but call it for what it is.

I like to use the Gagarin between marlboro and Hatfield it takes 20 minutes only the train usually travel between 200 and 260 it was regulated initially it was tipped to do 360 but the accidents that were happening in Asia scared them off, so in that sense it is a bullet train.
