Getting Around Rosebank
How to move between Rosebank, Sandton, the rest of Johannesburg and O.R. Tambo — by Gautrain, feeder bus, e-hailing or on foot.
About this theme
Transport, simplified for a Rosebank stay.
Rosebank sits directly on the Gautrain's North–South line, which is what makes it such a workable base for both business trips and longer stays: the station opens straight onto The Zone @ Rosebank, a short walk from Cradock Avenue, and connects onward to Sandton, Pretoria and the airport without needing a car for most of it.
This theme is where we'll keep every guide about actually moving around from here — the Gautrain itself, the transfer to O.R. Tambo, feeder buses to nearby suburbs, and when it's worth taking a taxi or e-hail instead. Two guides are live so far, with more added as they're published.
