About the Tour

A comedic train ride by a corny character from Joburg. Jump on the train at Woodstock station and ride through the Southern Suburbs while learning - and laughing - all about South African boytjie culture. Experience the humdrum Cape Town white-collar commute through the eyes of a self-deluding out-of-towner, who may actually just be a bit too close to home...

Originally from Joburg, hey. I bench 90 and enjoy Wimpy ice cream and long walks on Boulders Beach. I've been working for/with my dad for the last 10 years and almost done with my contract. I catch the train with all my fellow Cape Townians every day. "Simunye". It means "We are one" in African.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

The train takes you automatically through ten train stations, and you may continue onwards thereafter.

Best time of day

Any time before dusk. The journey takes roughly 25 minutes and must be done in the daytime.

Precautions

Woodstock train station is not the safest place in the world. Do not do the route alone if you're unfamiliar with it. Keep everything of value concealed when at stations and on the train, and be aware despite having your headphones in. The route is perfectly timed for Metro Plus ticket holders.
