The latest addition to Joburg’s transport network is the enterprising fleets of tuk-tuks based at Sandton Central and in Melville. While speeding around corners and chugging up steep hills on the back of a glorified motorcycle may not suit everyone, they do make travelling between suburbs easier. Also, with fares starting at R30 you can’t argue with the price.
Based outside the Sandton City Mall on West Street, Shesha Tuks operates within a 5km radius, which can get you to places like Parkhurst, Rosebank and Illovo. Rates start at R25 for a 3km journey, although it is best to agree a price beforehand. Operates between 06:00-21:00.
