Gautrain launches 50% discount for some train users to improve affordability
The Gautrain Management Agency has launched KlevaMova, a special product offering a 50% discount on train trips to individuals living in households with a combined household annual income of R350 000 or less, students under the age of 25, scholars, pensioners and recipients of the South African Social Security Agency disability grant.
The cost of transport remains one of the highest cost items for many households, particularly for households located on the periphery of cities, far from economic hubs. This was confirmed by the Gauteng Household Travel Survey which found that nearly 60% of households spent more than 10% of their income on public transport in 2019/20, up from 55% in 2014.
“I am pleased to announce that the Gautrain train fares will now be more affordable,” says Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela.
She adds that affordable and accessible public transport is crucial for reducing the cost of living for many South Africans, as it significantly impacts household budgets and access to opportunities.
“KlevaMova forms part of government’s efforts to make the Gautrain more accessible to a large share of the population in Gauteng, attract a diverse range of passengers across income groups and ensure that cost is not a barrier to accessing an efficient, safe and convenient public transport service,” Diale-Tlabela states.
KlevaMova offers eligible customers a 50% discount on Gautrain train fares only, available as weekly, monthly and return trip products. To qualify for the discount, interested individuals must apply by submitting relevant documentation and are subject to an approval and verification process.
