Gautrain payment has been made even simpler. If you have bank debit card that allows tapping for payment you don't need Gautrain card. Even with credit card you can just tap and go in and out.

Nah it's back to normal, they just took the train off peak. Between 9am and 2pm, it's never busy because most people have already gone to work, even on the roads there is generally no traffic between those times. Took the train to Rosebank on Friday after 3 almost didn't find a seat the way it was so packed

Before lockdown you would battle to find a seat in a train. But trains were coming after every 15 minutes. So when it's full, you just wait for the next one.

Actually the majority of the population (joburg and surrounding suburbs) don’t even use the Gautrain, they use Taxis (or small mini vans), the Gautrain is very expensive to the average South African. And the Gautrain isn’t the only train system in Joburg, there is another system that the working class use, it’s not as clean as the Gautrain but it’s way cheaper. I’m also an American in midrand!!

The person that posted this comment just exposed that something will happen, perhaps more trolls? Now you can't deny that all the hate is calculated... May all the people in those chatrooms recieve success beyond their wildest dreams, may they experience untold happiness, may they truly know unconditional love, because they really need it. I can't imagine the pain & suffering that they must be going through because, no one who is satisfied with their life & is at peace in their soul would go to such lengths to antagonize other humans, especially when we're all descendants of the same people. I hope west Africans know that South Africans don't hate them, we never did. African Americans don't hate you either, they love you because most of them trace their roots to your region.
