Review of The Gautrain Prices, Gautrain Rates & Gautrain Costs. The Gautrain Gold Card
So what does it cost to ride this modern miracle called the Gautrain. As normal human beings we always ask the price... rarely do we ask what are the savings by using an alternative such as the amazing Gautrain service. You see it's not just about the Gautrain cost it's all about saving money surely but perhaps most important for so many of us tired and weary N1 travelers over the past few years it's also about saving our nerves, and retaining our sanity so often thrown out of the window as we sit in those long slow-moving miles-long car motorway traffic jams.
Before talking about costs associated with Gautrain travel we nee to talk a bit about the new form of Gautrain currency namely the Gautrain Gold Card.

leave the parking facilities at the Gautrain stations. EVERY passenger needs to
obtain their own Gold Card.
