One of the most convenient and safe things to do in South Africa is to do business along Gautrain Routes in Pretoria and Johannesburg.
The Gautrain is a fast-train service run by the Mbombela Company, connecting passengers in Pretoria and Johannesburg business, industrial and shopping districts.
The Gautrain routes include Pretoria Hatfield, Pretoria Main, Pretoria Centurion, Midrand, Marlboro, Sandton, Rosebank, Park, Rhodesfield, and OR Tambo in Johannesburg. In between these, the Gautrain operates a Bus service that travels an average 10km radius of the stations, to act as a supplementary service.
The Gautrain train and bus services are very safe, efficient, and operated by well trained and well-mannered professionals, from security guard to coach attendants, to cashiers, to even the voice-over operators making important announcements.
These Gautrain train and bus routes were strategically built and are within the epicentre of business activity of Johannesburg and the South African economy. They move passengers to and from meetings in the most popular business districts, and shoppers in and around some of the largest shopping malls in Africa.
It is possible to fly into Johannesburg midmorning, take a Gautrain to Rosebank, book into a guest house near the Gautrain station, have a lunch meeting at 1pm at the Rosebank Mall, take a bus from the Gautrain station to Melrose Arch in Rosebank, do some shopping and coffee, and return to Rosebank Mall for an evening out, and back to the guesthouse for a night cap. You can then wake up, and after breakfast at the guesthouse or Woolworths at the Mall, you can then go to the airport, and fly out that next morning.
Within 24 hours, it is possible to do business in South Africa’s capital city and largest economic hub in Africa – Pretoria and Johannesburg, along the Gautrain train and bus routes.
A salesperson can go scouting for new business along the Gautrain routes as well, able to meet up and entertain clients in the convenient locations along the routes, with ease.
