Overview
Piotrans is the name of the first Rea Vaya Bus Operating Company (BOC), the first high capacity BRT system implemented in Africa. The company entered into a 12-year contract with Rea Vaya in 2011. This is a relationship between the City of Johannesburg and nine taxi associations, which are owned by over 300 taxi operators. These nine taxi-operating companies are known as TOICS (Taxi Operation Investment Companies) who are all shareholders.
Piotrans believes in the evolution and transformation of the transport industry in South Africa. We are a company that, together with over 300 hundred shareholders (all former minibus taxi owners), looks forward to becoming the pioneers of a new and vastly efficient transport system in South Africa.
Piotrans strongly supports the sustainable development of the city of Johannesburg, not just from an infrastructure point of view but also encompassing an environmental aspect. Piotrans believes in integrity, honesty and responsibility as the cornerstone of its corporate evolution.
Piotrans currently has a total of 143 Buses, of which 142 are currently operational. One of the buses has since been off the road due to damages incurred during one of the service delivery protests, which saw the bus totally burnt to the ground. With these buses under operation, Piotrans is committed to delivering quality, reliable and safe transport services to all persons that travel daily between Soweto and Johannesburg’s CBD.

PioTrans is committed to delivering transportation service that is safe, putting in the first place the life of the users. Reliability, regularity and cleanliness are cornerstones of the company’s operation, with the mind to always respect the environment.
Our objective is to continually develop staff and improve the group’s processes, combining technology, innovation and professional management of resources to guarantee sustainability.
