In a post on TikTok, a woman was stunned after using a taxi that was operating in a new way. The lady gave people insight into her recent experience using a taxi between Johannesburg and Pretoria.

The lady thought she would be using a taxi as normal, but she was met with a surprise in a video posted on 3 March 2026. Online users were just as amazed when she shared her unique taxi experience.

In a TikTok video by @nqobilemabhena7, a woman told people that she came across a cashless taxi. The lady who was travelling from Pretoria showed a taxi rank where payments are made prior to boarding a taxi. She was impressed, saying there were many advantages, such as not having to count cash when in a front seat. She felt the attendants needed more training and they also ran out of cards because it is a new system. Watch the video of the cashless system below:
