On board

What does Metrorail run?

Metrorail runs 264 of the Trains routes we sell, calling at 31 places across 1 countries. Those routes come from the published operator catalog rather than from a list we wrote, so a route only appears here if the carrier actually serves it.

The cheapest Metrorail fare we sell is €11.88 for one passenger, across 264 routes. The median route runs 53 km in a straight line. Fares include taxes, supplier fees and our service fee, so the figure here is the figure at checkout.

Are Metrorail tickets refundable?

Metrorail fares are refundable up to two hours before departure and can be changed at no charge, across all 264 routes we sell. The condition is shown again on the offer and once more before you pay, because it is the thing travelers most often get wrong.

What is on board an Metrorail service?

Metrorail publishes Power outlets, Wi-Fi across its fleet, on the 264 routes we sell. A median journey with this carrier runs about 23m, which is long enough for the difference between a carrier with power outlets and one without to matter.

What is the longest route Metrorail runs?

The longest Metrorail route we sell runs from Cape Town to Ceres, 103 km in a straight line. A median journey with this carrier takes about 23m at their typical cruising speed, so the long routes are considerably more than that.

Where does Metrorail operate?

Metrorail is based in South Africa and runs routes we sell in 1 countries. The places it calls at most often are Ceres, Worcester, Atlantis. Those are computed from the routes in the catalog rather than from anything the carrier tells us about its own network.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
