The Gautrain is offering rides to two notable events this weekend

The Gautrain has been used more and more as a vehicle for large events taking place around its area of coverage, in an effort to give locals better transport and ease congestion and general crowding. This initiative continues this weekend, with two events taking place on 31st October – neither of which have anything to do with Halloween.

These events are the Orland Pirates / Kaizer Chiefs game and the Johannesburg Pride parade. You can click or tap on the names of each of those events to be taken to their respective websites for more information.

Usually, the official Gautrain website will provide us with full details about how transport will work for its partnered events, but that has not happened here.

Instead, we only have the information below which has been shared on the official Gautrain social media accounts. Should this information be lacking for your planning needs, we recommend directly contacting the Gautrain or the organisers of the event(s) using the links on this page. It’s best to do that asap as these are both just days away and may both prove to be packed events.
