Taxi Ranks in North West

The North West province stretches from the outskirts of Gauteng to the Botswana border, with an economy driven by mining, agriculture, and tourism centred around Sun City and Pilanesberg. Minibus taxis are the dominant form of public transport, connecting towns like Rustenburg, Mahikeng (the provincial capital), Klerksdorp, and Potchefstroom with surrounding communities and Gauteng’s employment centres.

Rustenburg and the surrounding Bojanala Platinum District are among the busiest taxi corridors in the province, with thousands of mine workers relying on taxis to reach platinum belt operations daily. The route between Rustenburg and Pretoria via the N4 is one of the most heavily trafficked intercity taxi corridors outside Gauteng. Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom also serve as important nodes, connecting the southern part of the province to the Vaal Triangle and Free State.

Fare levels in the North West are generally moderate, but distances between towns can be substantial, meaning transport costs add up quickly for regular commuters. Mining shift schedules create distinct peak periods that differ from typical rush-hour patterns. TaxiFare provides North West commuters with transparent, community-sourced fare data.
