Transportation to Johannesburg City Center from Airport

Grand Central Airport

Johannesburg, known as one of the largest and most developed cities in South Africa with a population approaching 5 million, is an important transportation center for the region. The city, which is connected to many destinations of Africa and the world with direct and connecting flights, is also home to the busiest airport of the continent.

Among the transportation options to be used for travelling to the central parts of the city from the airport which is about 23 kilometers of Johannesburg city center, there are buses, taxis, trains, private passenger services and limousines.

Bus is one of the most economical alternatives to travel between the airport and the city center.

Taxis, private passenger services and minibuses are more comfortable than buses, but the fares are also higher when compared to buses.

You can also use the minibus taxis departing from the domestic and international terminals of the airport. If you prefer these vehicles for travelling in the city, we advise you to agree on the fare before your travel.

If you are visiting the city for the first time, the taxis carrying you to your destination are the most comfortable and reliable alternatives. The travel from the airport to the city center lasts about 45 minutes and the taxi fares are not very affordable for this distance. For this reason, local people prefer to use the buses in general. Nevertheless, it can be said that the bus option is a convenient and comfortable means of transportation for foreigners.

If you wish, you can travel to the city center from the airport by train. You can directly go to the train station from the A and B terminals of the airport and then take the road to the city center by train.

If the hotel you are staying at has shuttle service, the hotel shuttles may be another alternative for your transportation. These services are also one of the most comfortable and guaranteed transportation vehicles for those visiting the city for the first time. However, you must first contact your hotel about this issue and make a reservation beforehand if necessary. Fares for these services may be much higher than you expect. For this reason, be sure to get information about the fare before using the airport services.

You can rent a vehicle to travel around the city freely and comfortably. You can get in contact with the car rental offices located at the airport terminal as well as make an online reservation before taking the road. In this way, you can get your vehicle from here after your plane has landed.

There is also the limousine option in Johannesburg for those who want to make their travel between the airport and the city center more comfortable and luxurious. You can make a reservation over the internet and make your driver to wait for you with a luxurious limousine before your plane lands.

If you want to have some rest and spend some time after your plane has landed, remember that restaurants and cafes where you can taste delicious dishes from both South Africa and world cuisine, shops where you can do some shopping, and special passenger lounges where you can have comfortable time are waiting for you.

Bus

In Johannesburg, the first alternative that you can use to travel to the city center from the airport is bus. The buses that you can get on from the gate of both domestic and international flights terminals will take you to the central parts of the city in about 45 minutes and they are among the most preferred transportation vehicles especially by the local people. If you have come to the city many times, you can easily use the buses and reach the city center in a very economical way.

However, if this is your first visit to the city, it is not recommended to use the buses. Instead, you can evaluate other alternatives such as taxi or hotel shuttle to get to your destination comfortably. If you have visited the city before and have information about the roads, renting a car is also a more comfortable option than bus.

Minibus Taxi

Another public transportation alternative that you can use in the city is minibus taxi. Minibuses operating in a similar way with buses are generally preferred by the local people. Minibus taxis do not have a certain tariff. Before you get on a minibus taxi, you should specify your destination and negotiate about the fare. You can use the minibuses to reach the center of the city, but afterwards you have to walk to your hotel or take a taxi.

Taxi

In Johannesburg, the most convenient and comfortable means of transportation between the airport and city center is taxi. However, it is not preferred by the local people because the airport is located approximately 23 kilometers of the city center and requires a higher fare after a travel of 30-45 minutes.

If you are foreign to the city, taxis will be the fastest and safest alternative for you. Taxis are waiting for their passengers at the exit door of the airport terminals. You can get on one of the taxis whose light is on and can quickly get to the city center. In this way, you can safely arrive at your hotel or destination by taxi.

Train

Another option that can be preferred for the transportation between the airport and the city center is train. Thanks to the train station directly connected to the A and B terminals of the airport, you can easily reach the trains after you get off your plane, and star travelling to the city center.

It is possible to reach the train station from A or B terminal by following the directions. After arriving at the center of the city with trains, you can transfer to buses to reach different parts of the city.

Car Rental

It is also possible to rent a car to get to the city center from the airport. Johannesburg's ordered roads and signboards make it easy to find the way.

Hotel Shuttles

It is also possible to consider the hotel shuttle services option for traveling between the airport and the city center. You can get in contact with your hotel about these services and enable that the driver waits for you at the airport.
