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.
Latest reviews of Gautrain app for iPhone and iPad
The fare estimator fails to cater for simple validation, there is no Bombela parking at ORT. Map component is SLOOW. Heard of Google maps? No station details, address? Tel?
Does what it says it does: well and user friendly. Would also like to see future enhancements like setting origin and destination and letting it guide you to choose bus stops and stations.
Overall okay for first app. I have afew suggestions: 1) gold card balance checker 2) bus route / pick-up points 3) communications like twitter feed fot live updates Tx
Great app for route information. Would be useful if you could recharge your card in-app + check balances. Also if it could remember user stops for prit selected lookups and calculate charges for round trips. Bus timetables would also be great.
Nice time table, bus routes based on your location and fare cost calculator. All in all what i would expect.
