Gautrain has launched a new website and mobile app to make travelling with the train a breeze.

Gauteng Transport MEC Ismail Vadi unveiled the enhancements at the Technology Innovation Conference 2018 at the Gallagher Conference Centre in northern Johannesburg.

Vadi says the new website and app will allow passengers to create a profile where they will easily manage their ticketing online by linking many cards to their online profile, check expiry dates and even block cards online.

“This is one of the many system enhancements that have been implemented on the Gautrain since the start of operations to ensure that the Gautrain is quick, convenient and efficient.”

Vadi says the new app offers many new features.

“Passengers can now manage their Gautrain cards, trip planning and refund claims online. They will be able to register their cards, reload funds, buy Gautrain travel products passes, purchase bulk cards, view their card transaction history, check their card expiry dates and plan their real-time trips.”

Passengers will still be able to buy their cards at any Gautrain Station.

The Gautrain app is available for both Android and iOS devices.
