The Gautrain is a state-of-the-art rapid transit railway system in Gauteng, South Africa, designed to provide efficient, safe, and fast transport for commuters and travelers between Johannesburg, Pretoria, and O.R. Tambo International Airport. Officially launched in 2010, it was introduced as a response to growing traffic congestion and aimed to modernize public transport infrastructure within the province.
