The first phase of the R25,4-billion rail project – Sandton to the OR Tambo International Airport – opened almost a year ago, in time for the kickoff of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
In September 2010, the train carried its millionth passenger.
Consortia were first invited to submit bids for the Gautrain Rapid Railway, nicknamed the Shilowa Express after the then Gauteng premier, Mbhazima Shilowa, in 2001.
Two bids were submitted, with Bombela – a French/Canadian/South African corporate consortium – announced as the winning bidder to build the system, and to then operate it for 15 years in a public-private partnership.
Construction started in 2006.
