Gautrain
So eventually...I took the Gautrain...and not to sound too clichéd but in South Africa it really is something to love! It makes Jozi peak just a little higher in ranking than the mother city...hehe! And even though it doesn't run exactly like clockwork; the doors open and close a few times to let stragglers in, it is still the best thing in Jozi transport since the updated version of the taxi... I suppose it doesn't take much to make it at the top of the public transport system in SA, but the Gautrain does provide quite a bit of distraction from the other issues at hand. Its sleek and it speeds through traffic, you cant help but love that!

hmmmm... the funny thing about this 'new' Gautrain is that there already was a train to the airport, it's ben around for years! So, technically it's ahead of the Gautrain because you can catch it from Pretoria and Braamfontein. It's the Metro Rail, only costs R7 or so but takes about 45 minutes plus a twenty minute walk from the dirty old station to the airport. Ahead of it's time... but soon to be left very far behind. oh well, it does not seem like either passenger of the old or the new is too worried.
