Thanks Blu, hope this doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Engineering - this is where the semi-skilled workers realize the work of better minds. Hello, Oompah-Loompahs of science.
What is the point? The fares are well beyond the reach of 90% of South Africans anyway.
Yeah if Sandton->OR Tambo = R100; the JHB->PTA will be even more than that... waaay too expensive.
Just for those who are interestedOriginally Posted by Garyvdh
I suspect it will be cheaper than e.g. the Sandton/ORT link.
Yip, afiak the ORTIA - Sandton Station link will be the cash cow and all other routes should be reasonable, but TIA....Just for those who are interested
I suspect it will be cheaper than e.g. the Sandton/ORT link.
It does make sense, because that link carries all the tourists from ORT to JHB and back, as well as any other person wanting to get to ORT without using road transport.
The link from Sandton to Rhodesfield station (which is SO close to the airport) is only R21 AFAIK. I stand corrected on this, though.
Correct, was gonna post that.
OK, well... we will let you guys keep us posted!
I suspect you'll be able to purchase a monthly ticket at a reduced rate,instead of forking out everytime you board the train.
The fee will definitely be lower than your monthly JHB-PTA petrol bill if you are commuting every working day.
And if you want to use a bus at the other end it is still only R33. IMO very affordable for people staying in that part of the world and working in sandton.
Friday night round 11ish they were testing the train on the centurion link. was awsome. You go 120 and it makes it look like you are looking for parking
No I'm not rude, just honest.
I remember in the 3 or so months before the Sandton station and the ORT link opened, we were just as excited ! Every little piece of progress was cheered on - it gives you such a nice feeling as the big day of that first official trip comes closerFriday night round 11ish they were testing the train on the centurion link. was awsome.

I have to admit that I was negative about this. But I have decided not to be. This is not the answer for the people in taxi's but it might be the answer to less idiots in fancy cars on the highwaysI remember in the 3 or so months before the Sandton station and the ORT link opened, we were just as excited !

// flame suit.
I'm genuinely excited about this.

my office is right in front of the trainline and the train goes past quite a few times a day.Friday night round 11ish they were testing the train on the centurion link. was awsome. You go 120 and it makes it look like you are looking for parking
Must admit its terribly quiet, just wish i could be one of the ghosts riding the train (since the train is totally empty)
