- Taking a Taxi back to the airport from Sandton with another rider. Bet a lot of Americans would be confused by the EASY diagrams on the signs, let alone driving on the opposite side of the road.
This is one of the best taxi drivers I have dealt with. He had taken me to some of the local malls to purchase a power cord for my PC, as well as driving me into different parts of J'burg. I did not mind paying him $40.00 American dollars and the taxi charge of R350. The people here in SA are very curtious and friendly by far!
Read your comment-I live here stateside and though I have never been to SA before, I would like to visit someday. We hear about all of the waves of crime in cities like Jozi, and though it may be true, Johannesburg is probably like many cities here stateside where you just learn where to go and the areas to avoid. The landscape in this video is just beautiful
SA road signage is indeed very clear and well designed.
We need this road signage in Metro Atlanta (lol)
even the drivers seem more disciplined as compared to those down here in oz lol (me included haha) .. i noticed the speed limit's 120 kph ... why arent we allowed over 110 kph here i wonder
You are actually on the N3 Highway! You turn off this highway to get onto the R21 which takes you to the airport.
wohoo, looks like Interstate 95 through Philadelphia(with the outrageously clogged traffic)
Before making comments, understand this: I paid him to talk along the way: 125.00USD tip along with the R400 for the cab fare just to give the tour to the airport. Trust me, he was VERY HAPPY! He was not at all upset or saddened by us not talking. I use this same cab company every time I goto SA on business. Unlike most other riders, I tip my drivers well because most riders never do.
Hope you enjoy yourself when visit SA, nice Video indeed.
Man, the poor taxi driver is desperately trying to strike up conversation with his international tourist clients, proudly showing off the developments along the way to Jan Smuts, but all he gets back is monosyllables. Aikona wena!
i really wanna go thier but people keep telling my i would get killed if i do
best place in the world
Why would anyone be confused by such signs?
@radioguy95 Before trying to spin me a yarn ('These are the new offices'...'Ah, interesting'... with no attempt to actually film them on your 'tour' heheheh), how about you understanding this: you got taken well and truly for a ride. He should have turned off onto the R25, cos Jo'burg International is not actually in Joburg, it's in Kempton Park. You could have saved yourself at least half an hour and a couple of hundred bucks too :-)
look i'm from sa come you like it
This doesn't look like the HiAce taxis that cause all the grief, this looks like the internationally accepted form of taxi, i.e. a car. Maybe if SA taxis operated like taxis in the rest of the world, 1 fare to 1 destination, rather than all vying for passengers wanting differing journeys & diving off to the side of the road to pick up anyone and everyone, normality would prevail. But it's been like that since I learnt to drive in SA way back in the early 80s - you just need eyes in your arse!
ight i just might go
If we cut down on a number of TAXIS operating, our road accidents will surely decrease.
well i was commentin based on what i saw in this film ...but i guess being a local you'd definitely know better ..i have never been to sth africa but u knw wht i've actually heard stories from my sth african and zimbo frnds regarding the muggings and shootings in Jo'burg and how it can easily be considered the crime capitals (amongst major cities) of the world .. .adding to tht the number of rapes etc ... havin said tht some othr ppl tell me jozi's a nice place?? dunno who to b'lieve :D
Whats the big thing about filming a freeway? Yes we have cars and computers, no there are no lions walking around and the person who said they would get killed well it could happen anywhere. Of course you have to be careful, there is a lot of poverty (and wealth). Cape Town and Durban are the places to go, avoid Johannesburg that's where there is major crime. Oh the poor taxi driver is trying to make conversation - the guy with the camera says hardly a thing - no music either - boring journey.
First of all moron, learn how to spell, second, if your going to make an idiot out of yourself, at least use a spell check.
