How To Reach Johannesburg From Bangalore

The airport that caters to the city, called O. R. Tambo International Airport, is located 30 minutes away from the city and even less if you take the Gautrain from the airport to reach the city center. Local transport in Johannesburg is very up to date, with suburban and urban rails, rapid transit metro, buses, shuttles and cabs connecting every part of the city, and the city with its suburbs and other destinations.
