A valid
Gold Card is required to board a Gautrain bus; these can be purchased at the stations
and at selected
retail outlets.
Your Gold Card will need to have a minimum balance of R20 to board a Gautrain bus. Bus tickets cannot be purchased on the buses.
Find your nearest bus stop by clicking
here or at your nearest station. Please note that all of our bus stops can be identified by the following signs.
Flag your bus! The bus drivers do not necessarily stop at each bus stop, if there are no passengers waiting there. When your bus is travelling towards you, you will need to flag it down if you would like it to stop. You can do this by raising your arm when the bus approaches. Please note that failure to do this will result in the bus continuing along its route.
Simply touch the Gold Card to the ticket reader on the fare-gate and wait for the green light and
beeping sound to indicate validation. Pass through the glass barrier, board the train,
sit back and relax! Upon leaving the train, touch the card to the ticket reader at the fare-gate,
wait for validation and pass through. Thank you for using Gautrain!
Please press the stop button on the bus as you near your desired stop so that the bus driver can stop to let you off. You do not need to tag out when exiting a bus. Once you have arrived at the station, and if you are catching the train, you must tag into the station within 90 minutes of having tagged into the bus to qualify for the discounted fare.
