EcoMobility Festival tour options include Red Bus and Segway tours

City Sightseeing Joburg’s hop-on hop-off bus tours will be facilitating a special Sandton EcoMobility World Festival route on weekends during the month of October 2015, while Segway tours will be offering a novel way to see the many sights of Sandton.

City Sightseeing South Africa launched the Jozi CBD route almost three years ago and is delighted to be part of the Eco Mobility Month in Sandton. Through consistent all-day service on weekends, the Red Bus will encourage visitors to hop-off and explore at various highlights showcasing the positive impact of EcoMobility.

City Sightseeing was the first bus operator in South Africa to be certified carbon neutral. “We use recyclable material, are fuel-efficient and recycle our waste,” says Glynn Soule, GM Johannesburg. “Following an independent carbon audit conducted by Global Carbon Exchange (GCX), we purchased carbon credits from a Cape Town- based company called Reliance to offset our remaining carbon emissions.”

Tickets are priced at R20 per adult for a one-day pass. The bus will be running from 09h00 – 16h00 on weekends only, in an anti-clockwise direction on this route:

Stop 1: Cnr Rivonia and West Street (Gautrain)
Stop 2: Holiday Inn Sandton – Rivonia Street
Stop 3: Cnr Friedman Drive and Gwen Lane
Stop 4: Sandown Valley Centre
Stop 5: Pedestrian Bridge linking Nelson Mandela Square to Sandton Shopping Centre

Enjoy a tour of Sandton on a Segway

Kasi Tours and Imperial Green Mobility (IGM) are running Segway Guided Tours in Sandton this October. “This will be the first time Joburgers can experience the fun and exhilaration of gliding on a Segway on the streets of Sandton,” says Claudia Ferro of Kasi Tours.

On offer is a 45-minute Adventure Tour that runs from the exhibition space in the parking lot of the Sandton Library to Mushroom Park. The second is a tour of the Sandton CBD, lasting an hour and a half and taking in some of the more prominent buildings and companies in the area.

“Segways are easy to use and our guides not only provide expert training, but they offer insights to the local history and happenings,” says Ferro. Tours cost between R200 and R250.
