6 7 How to get to Joburg

Joburg is geographically fairly centrally located in South Africa.

AIRPORT

The O.R. Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) in Johannesburg is the air transport hub of Southern Africa, catering for more than 17 million passengers each year. It is about 30 km from the city, servicing over 55 international airlines and numerous domestic airlines.

HIGH SPEED RAILWAY

The Gautrain speed train service travels at a maximum speed of 180 kilometers per hour linking the airport to various areas of Johannesburg in just 12 minutes.

BUSES

The Rea Vaya bus route covers a distance of over 120km and serves as a feeder system to the Gautrain. The bright red buses offer fast and affordable public transport throughout the city.

TAXIS

Johannesburg has two types of taxis, metered taxis and minibus taxis. Unlike other cities, metered taxis don’t normally drive around the city looking for passengers, they need to be called for a pick up. Minibus taxis are largely used by locals to commute between residential areas and places of work.

THE SIGHTSEEING BUS

As with all City Sightseeing tours, Johannesburg operates on the world renowned and hugely popular Hop-On, Hop-Off, system which allows sight seers the chance to get on and off the bus at any of the 12 designated stops along the route.
