Thank you for the information provided.
Please be advised that the penalty fee was applied due to incorrect system usage. Our records show that different payment methods were used to check in and out, which prevents the system from registering a complete journey. Please see the attached statement of your bank cards.
Penalty for missing transactions
Please be aware that Gautrain uses a check-in and check-out system at the fare gates. Completing the trip requires that you have both transactions: a check-in and a check-out.
In the event that the missing transaction is not found after three days, the trip is deemed incomplete due to evasion (the missing transaction is deemed non-existent), and an R260 penalty is applied.
As a Gautrain rule, customers must use one payment method for all the transactions.
If two different devices (card + card/ card + phone/ card + watch/ Phone + watch) are used for the same journey, the system will record half a journey on each device, resulting in an “incomplete” trip and a penalty of R260.00 on each.
Penalty fees are debited 3 days after the trip was made, which is late banking.
