Can a Gautrain card be used to pay for more than one person?

[blunomore]

If I have a guest with me who does not have a Gautrain card, am I allowed to swipe my card twice, once for me and once for the guest?

 

[MickeyD]

My logic says no.

Station A: Swipe, board.
Station B: Disembark, swipe, cost is calculated and deducted.

How will it determine the fare on a double swipe?

The card is free anyway...

R10 once off cost.

R10 once off cost.

Comes with R10 of credit or did they scrap that?

Non-refundable, non-usable.... must have a minimum of R20 loaded.

Ah okay. Didn't know that.

I know for a fact it does not work that way.

Used it PLENTY. Stopped using rental vehicles and shuttle services when travelling to meetings... Gautrain and Gautrain Bus service is awesome!! Stopped right next to our building.

And it is cheaper is you are alone.

The answer is no.

Your logic is almost correct in that it's not possible. The method is a bit off though. This is more how it would go down:

Station A: Swipe one time, go in. Pass card to next person, guard immediately tells you to GTFO. In the event that does not happen, or the entire army of guards at every station (TIA after all, they are there for a reason) are otherwise occupied, pass card to person outside the turnstile, alarm goes off on the second swipe, gate doesn't open and pandemonium ensues. Similar to what happens if you swipe in and out at the same station without swiping out somewhere else.

Station B: Police Station, I guess, if you don't have a good enough excuse at Station A.

If you really want to swindle Gautrain , buy a return ticket and get a lift back

And are you allowed to swipe your card twice (for yourself and a guest) when you use the Gautrain bus?

Q: How does a guest of yours board a bus then with you if he has to have credit and a Gautrain card but he has neither

You prepare before the time, either by taking a bus or car trip on your own to the station and getting a card, or going to one of the few retailers who sell them.

Get a Gautrain card or a temporary card from the ticket office or one of the several outlets that sell them.

Does it charge you double if you accidentally or intentionally swipe it twice? :wtf:
