FARADAY TAXI ASSOCIATION

More than six decades on Gauteng's roads.

Founded in 1964, the Faraday Taxi Association represents minibus taxi operators across Johannesburg and greater Gauteng — and, through Faraday Transit, is bringing Gautrain feeder services to the commuters who rely on us.

ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION

A voice for Gauteng's taxi operators since 1964

The Faraday Taxi Association is based at 255 Johannesburg Road, La Rochelle, and represents minibus taxi operators serving commuters across Johannesburg and the wider Gauteng province.

The Association works on behalf of its operators to secure fair routes, safe operating conditions, and reliable service — and, through its subsidiary Faraday Transit, is extending that mission into scheduled feeder services for the Gautrain network.

Three ways we serve Gauteng's commuters

From everyday minibus taxi routes to scheduled Gautrain feeder services — with a live, on-demand experience on the way.

Association-affiliated minibus taxis run direct routes between taxi ranks and destinations across Johannesburg and Gauteng — the daily service the Association has provided since 1964.

  • Direct routes from taxi ranks to destinations across Gauteng
  • Operated by Association-affiliated minibus taxi operators
  • Serving commuters since 1964

  • Scheduled feeder routes to Gautrain stations
  • Operated under Faraday Transit (Pty) Ltd
  • Built on the Association's decades of route experience

BoyT Faraday app

A mobile app in development to put real-time information directly in commuters' hands, alongside on-demand bookings for passengers who need a taxi now.
