MetroRail Western Cape
Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape.
**** At the moment, bicycles are NOT allowed on Metrorail. This is under discussion between the City of Cape Town and Metrorail, and we hope that they will once again allow Bikes on Board.****
Combining bikes and trains is a great way to travel around South Africa’s cities. There are also a bunch of destinations that can be reached by rail beyond the city limits.
Cyclists can take their bikes on Metro rail trains during off-peak hours (09h00- 15h00 and 19h00- until last train run), on weekdays and all day on the weekend. The cost of carriage is +R20 per bike for any one direction (in addition to your ticket price).
Bikes on CT trains - no more
Tried on 18 Feb 2026 to catch the train with my bike from Plumstead to Cape Town and was advised this is no longer allowed.
