Taxi industry dominates as preferred road transport; Gautrain provides 80km rapid rail between Johannesburg, Pretoria, and OR Tambo Airport. Bus systems like Rea Vaya face failures due to planning issues, corruption, and taxi integration challenges. Rail passenger services declining; limited metro/subway outside cities. Basic coverage in urban areas, poor integration and rural access.

Extensive 300,000 km network (40% paved) connects all major cities with multilane freeways around urban hubs like Johannesburg-Durban. Two-lane highways link towns; maintenance issues in rural unpaved roads. Government prioritizing rehabilitation for economic growth and safety, though urban congestion and quality gaps persist.

Well-developed telecoms with high urban Internet connectivity; major cities offer fast broadband via fiber and mobile. Significant rural-urban gap; Telkom partially privatized with expansion programs. Cell coverage strong, among Africa's best.
