SmartCard HELPS YOU TRAVEL SMARTER, FASTER AND SECURELY Rea Vaya smartcard is the quickest, easiest and most convenient way to pay for your travel fares using Rea Vaya. It is one of the first public transport systems in the world where bank cards are used to pay for distance based fares. Advantages of using the Smartcard? ¡ You no longer have to carry cash with you to pay for your travel, just tap your Smartcard. ¡ The Smartcard automatically calculates how far you travel and you only pay only the distance you travel. ¡ The Smartcard is re-useable and convenient. You can load cash on the card at Rea Vaya stations, selected vendors and retail outlets as well as at ABSA ATMs. ¡ You can use your Smartcard to pay for goods at stores for R200 per transaction. ¡ You can load up to R3 000 per month with a maximum of R1 500 at any given time. ¡ If your card is lost, when you report it, the funds will be transferred to the new card within 30 days. How much will I pay? Journey Length 0 - 5km Fares R5.50 5.1km - 10km R7.20 10.1km - 15km R9.00 15.1km - 26km R10.70 26.1km - 35km R12.50 How the SmartCard works Step 1: Collect and activate the smartcard Get your Smartcard from Rea Vaya stations for R20 or at the following Customer Care Centres at our Rea Vaya stations for FREE if you register; ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Carlton Centre East Rea Vaya Station (CBD) Johannesburg Art Gallery Station (Joubert Park) Orlando Police Station (Orlando) UJ Sophiatown Station (Melville) Indingiliza Terminus (Dobsonville) Bosmont Station (Bosmont) The cashier at the station or customer care officer will help you to activate your card by asking you to use a personalised pin code. Step 2: Loading money into your Smartcard Load money into your Smartcard at the Rea Vaya stations, selected vendors and retail outlets, as well as at ABSA ATMs. Immediately after loading at the cashier, you will be given a slip indicating the balance and the loading fee. You must have a minimum amount of R12.50 on your card. You also have to pay a loading fee of 2.5% or R1.50 if you top up with less than R60. We urge you to load money once a week or once a month to save on the loading fees. Step 3: Begin the journey with a 'tap in' at the stations or in the bus from a bus stop Rea Vaya journey begins with a 'tap in' at the stations or in the bus from the bus stop. Rea Vaya stations and buses have validator machines. You simply tap your Smartcard onto the validator and the gate or turnstile will open if you have sufficient funds to travel. Step 4: End the journey with a 'tap out' at the stations or in the bus at the bus stop Rea Vaya journey ends with a 'tap out' at the validators at a station or in the bus at a bus stop. You only tap at the beginning and end of your journey even if you transfer from a feeder to a trunk service. If you do not 'tap out' you will be penalised up to R12.50 next time you use your card. Step 5: Check your balance for the next travel Check your balance at the station for your next journey. Always keep a minimum amount of R12.50 in your Smartcard for you to travel. Keep your Smartcard safe. Keep your Pin a secret. Enjoy your next travel. If you believe that a mistake has been made and the Rea Vaya owes you money, you are advised to appeal by completing and submitting a “Customer Appeal Form” at one of the Customer Care Centres of Rea Vaya closest to you. The Customer Care Agent will log the appeal and provide you with a reference number. The appeal process will be resolved within seven working (7) days. If you are successful, your funds will be refunded to your Smartcard.

The legend for the strip maps is as follows: Stadium Complementary services (C): These are bus services which start or end on routes in mixed traffic but join the trunk route. Commuter rail Feeder services (F): These are bus services that feed the trunk route – they start in mixed traffic and end at a Rea Vaya Station. Taxi rank On the next pages we have strip maps which indicate all the places that the Rea Vaya buses stop. They either stop at a Rea Vaya Station if it is a trunk service or at a Rea Vaya bus stop if it is a complementary or feeder service.
