The Gauteng Provincial Government, has launched the GoGauteng mobile application (app) aimed at assisting commuters to plan their routes using different modes of public transport, reports TimesLive.
The app includes the location of stations and stops, and operational times and will also provide road users with ways to avoid toll roads. The app also gives passengers the fares and reflects changes to the schedules.
On the GoGauteng app, users could choose their mode of transport, such as Metrorail, Rea Vaya, Gautrain, Metrobus, Tshwane Bus, Putco and Northwest Star – which can be accessed on the app
The app would be available in the Android, iOS and Blackberry app stores, by searching for “Gauteng on the Move”, as well as through a mobile site.
Justin Coetzee, developer of GoGauteng said commuters who did not have access to smartphones, can access GoGauteng on Mxit through Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) service.
Coetzee also said that user profiles and the ability to chat with other public transport users would also be added to the GoGauteng app at a later stage.
