Walking map to the closest local train station

Here is a walking map to the closest Metrorail station Isando:

Go to the ground floor of Domestic Terminal B. Walk all the way to the southern end of the terminal until you see a clinic. Go out and turn left. Keep walking on the left side and walk until you see a walking bridge that goes over the highway. Cross the bridge and the railway bridge, buy a ticket from the ticket counter and go to platform one to wait for your train. There are several trains. Take one that has a number starting with 06. The Metrorail train trip takes about 1 hour and the walk 15 minutes. Johannesburg Park Station is the last stop so you can't miss it.

Happy travels!

Hello, very nice post you have shared here about all your local travel instructions. But when we think about the best parking services you never forgot about Airport Car Parking services, Which offer a free car wash when they park your car.
Thanks for sharing your insights. We don't really use cars at all so we have no idea about such services.
