The best way to catch a taxi is to go to the taxi rank inside Sandton Station. The taxi rank is integrated with the Gautrain station, making it very convenient to transfer to/from the train and Gautrain bus.

Please note that we currently do not have most minibus taxi information. The best way to find information is to ask at the taxi rank. We will add as much information as we can during the course of October.

Minibus taxis operate on a cash-only basis, please ensure that you have sufficient cash before taking a trip.
