Transport Score in Johannesburg | Public Transit, Traffic & Mobility

Global Transportation Score

Transportation in the city is heavily reliant on private cars, which can lead to significant traffic congestion during peak hours. The Gautrain rapid rail system provides an efficient and modern link between key hubs like Sandton, the airport, and the city center. However, the wider public transport network, including buses and minibuses, still faces challenges in terms of reach and frequency. Improvements in infrastructure are ongoing, with a focus on integrating different modes of transport for better connectivity. Pedestrian mobility is limited, though some newer developments are prioritizing walkability.
