The Pensioner Special offers the perfect opportunity for South African pensioners to enjoy a day out on the red bus, at half price, in Cape Town or Johannesburg.

What is the Pensioner Special?

It’s a 50% discount on a Classic red bus ticket in Cape Town and Johannesburg. With the Classic ticket you can explore the city for a full day n our hop on hop off tours. This means pensioners pay R100 for a ticket that usually costs R200.

In Cape Town, pensioners also get a R20 discount on a Waterfront Harbour Cruise ticket (usually R50). The Waterfront Harbour Cruise departs from the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront (stop 1).

Please note that Pensioner Special tickets aren't available online. The special offer also doesn't apply to the Joburg Red City Tour and Soweto Combo and cannot be combined with any other special offer.
