South African commuter rail network
Metrorail Gauteng is a network of
commuter rail services in
Gauteng province in
South Africa , serving the
Johannesburg and
Pretoria metro areas. It is operated by
Metrorail , a division of the
Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA).
Metrorail routes spread out across the province from three main hubs:
Park Station in
Johannesburg ,
Germiston Station on the
East Rand , and
Pretoria Station . Routes serve central Johannesburg, the East Rand,
Soweto , the
Vaal Triangle , the
West Rand , central
Pretoria , and suburbs to the north, east and west of Pretoria.
Significant areas not served by Metrorail are the northern and western suburbs of Johannesburg, including
Sandton and
Randburg , and the south-eastern suburbs of Pretoria. Some of the northern suburbs of Johannesburg are now served by the new
Gautrain rapid-rail system.
