## Gautrain Description
Gautrain – for people on the move.  The official Gautrain app – everything you need to know about the Gautrain.

With the new Gautrain App, you get all the travel information you need, when you need it. Features include:

• top-up prepaid balances and purchase fare products via secure payments
• real-time journey planning, station to station, or search for any address in Gauteng, with the option to add public transport operators in Gauteng to extend your journey options beyond the Gautrain network
• live Gautrain bus tracking, plotted on your journey map
• journey fares and schedules, with the option to request journey information up to seven days ahead
• find nearest bus and station features, with routing instructions

• view balance and travel history for transit cards
• log and manage claims online
• block Gautrain Cards.
• check expiry date and more…

The Gautrain system provides you with a safe, comfortable and reliable train service, a dedicated bus system, as well as drop-off and parking facilities at all stations (except at OR Tambo International Airport). These services are fully integrated and may be used separately or jointly by transferring from one to another. The services are all accessed by means of your Gold Card. Additional services include car rental facilities at Johannesburg Park Station, Sandton- and Pretoria Stations.

DISCLAIMER:
Due to the large possibility of different routings, the fare calculator gives only indicative prices and not always the exact amount. The indicative price shall not be binding and/or enforceable against the Gauteng Provincial Government (including the Gauteng Management Agency (Pty) Ltd) and/or Bombela Concession Company and/or Bombela Operating Company (Pty) Ltd. The timetables are only indicative and can change without prior notice.

## Gautrain Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Worst app in existence"
Only usable for checking train times because your card balance doesn’t update properly and you can’t block a card on the app but website everything is fine.
-- divinehim, 2024-11-06

### *---- "Wrong information"
Tells me to get off the wrong station
-- PotKoo, 2024-09-14

### *---- "App update"
This app needs serious updating…someone sort it, changing train prices isn’t enough!!!!
-- Add bolt credit, 2024-06-21

### *---- "Why do you have to wait 30 minutes to load money on the app"
I think its really inconvenient that you can load money on the card through the app but then you have to wait 30 minutes for it to reflect. I only downloaded the app because I didn’t have my physical bank card with me and none of the booths wanted to accept my digital card. In in 30 minutes I will have missed two trains, one why add this feature if the functionality is so poor
-- waltiboii, 2024-04-19

### *---- "Not user friendly"
Definitely one of the worst apps I have seen. 
It’s not user friendly. 
Kluncky at best to describe the app.
-- Nikname&2, 2024-03-18

### *---- "Terrible App"
Keeps saying can't connect to API. Is generally glitchy and keeps freezing.
-- Frikdelport, 2024-03-13

### **--- "App registration"
When you register on the app the Key pad stays displayed on top of the text and doesnt allow you to submit your registration, this is on the latest update on ios, please fix that
-- newcust34, 2023-09-18

### *---- "Frustrating"
Why can't the government hire developers who can do their job?🤦🏽‍♂️ it would be amazing to have our cards linked here, check how much we have on them. There's so much we need like notifications of the bus or trains.
-- Applefreak_02, 2023-09-17

### *---- "Loading money on card"
I’ve been struggling to reload money on my card via the app! I feel like this app is SUCH a waste of time!
-- rob gauteng, 2023-06-18

### **--- "App needs review"
App is out of date. Timetables are not correct in accordance with the website. Serious attention needs to be paid here. This is a nightmare for tourists.
-- Daytona 555, 2023-05-09
