TRANSPORT

Public transport, transfers and getting around johannesburg

Transport in and around Johannesburg is not as easy as in the Northern hemisphere but you can make use of the following options: Mini Bus Taxi’s, Brown Sugar Shuttle, Meter Taxi’s, Über taxi’s, Public Bus Services, Gautrain, City Sightseeing Bus, Public Railway Train, Car hire or Bolt.

Uber is a platform where those who drive and deliver can connect with riders, eaters, and restaurants. In cities where Uber is available, you can use the Uber app to request a ride. 

First you’ll see the restaurant accept and start prepping. Then, when the order’s almost ready, a nearby delivery person—in a car, on a bike, or on a scooter—will go to the restaurant to pick it up and deliver it to you.
