high-speed train project to link johannesburg and pretoria
South Africa's most ambitious rail project is taking shape between Tshwane (Pretoria) and Johannesburg. The Gautrain Rapid Rail Link will reign across a 80-km/50-mi network connecting both cities with Johannesburg International Airport and a number of intermediate stations. The new high-speed service brings a promise of continued growth to burgeoning Gauteng Province. Seen as a hedge against spiraling fuel prices, Gautrain promises relief for traffic-weary commuters long tied to private cars and an ad-hoc fleet of mini-bus taxis.  Gautrain will link Johannesburg with Tshwane (Pretoria). © 2007 TrainTraveling.com. The Gautrain Rapid Rail Link is scheduled to hit the rails in time for Johannesburg's hosting of the 2010 World Cup. That target should assure a steady flow of funding and adherence to the project's timetable.
