Tap the Share icon in Safari’s toolbar, then choose “Add to Home Screen”. It’ll open straight to the Gautrain Fare Calculator next time, like an app.
Gautrain fares are distance-based, so the exact amount depends on which two stations you tag in and out at, and whether you travel during peak or off-peak hours. This page shows a handful of commonly searched example routes — for the fare between any other pair of the 10 Gautrain stations, use the official fare calculator linked in the Source line below.
| Route | Peak | Off-peak |
|---|
| Product | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Pay-as-you-go | Exact fare deducted from your card balance each trip |
| Single Trip | One journey, valid up to 3 years from purchase |
| Return Trip | There and back, must be used within 31 days |
| Weekly | 10 trips, usable within 10 days |
| Monthly | 44 trips, usable within 44 days |
A new Gautrain Card costs R21, and needs a minimum of R38 loaded onto it before your first trip. You can also tap in and out with a contactless bank card instead of buying a dedicated Gautrain Card.
Weekdays 06:00–08:30 and 15:00–18:30. Every other weekday time is off-peak — but weekends and public holidays are charged at the peak rate all day, regardless of the actual time.
Use Gautrain’s own official fare calculator and select your two stations directly — it will always have the exact, current fare for any pair, which this page doesn’t attempt to replicate for every possible combination.
No, these are train-only fares. Gautrain’s feeder/distribution buses charge separately (a reduced rate if you tag on/off a bus within an hour of your train trip), and aren’t included in the figures above.
