The Gautrain bus services operate daily between 05:30 and 20:30[1]. However, individual routes may have slight variations. For example, according to the official Parktown J1 route: on weekdays, the first bus departs from the train station at 06:16 and the last at 20:26, while the first bus from the end stop starts at 05:27 and the last at 20:41. On weekends and public holidays, there is typically no bus service[2].
Bus frequency during peak periods (usually 06:00–08:30 and 15:00–18:30) is every 10 minutes, and during off-peak periods it is every 20 minutes on most routes, subject to road and traffic conditions[4]. Passengers should always confirm the schedule for their specific route, as timetable adjustments and exceptions may apply.
Bus services are available from all Gautrain stations except OR Tambo International Airport[4]. Use of the service requires either a Gautrain Card or a Contactless bank card with at least R38 loaded. No cash is accepted[1].
