Pio-Trans is the name of the first Rea Vaya Bus Operating Company (BOC), the first high capacity BRT system implemented in Africa.  The company entered into a 12-year contract with Rea Vaya in 2011. This is a relationship between the City of Johannesburg and nine taxi associations, which are owned by over 300 taxi operators. These nine taxi-operating companies are known as TOICS (Taxi Operation Investment Companies) who are all shareholders. 
Pio-Trans believes in the evolution and transformation of the transport industry in South Africa. We are a company that, together with over 300 hundred shareholders (all former minibus taxi owners), looks forward to becoming the pioneers of a new and vastly efficient transport system in South Africa. Piotrans strongly supports the sustainable development of the city of Johannesburg, not just from an infrastructure point of view but also encompassing an environmental aspect. Piotrans believes in integrity, honesty and responsibility as the cornerstone of its corporate evolution
Pio-Trans currently has a total of 143 Buses, of which 142 are currently operational. One of the buses has since been off the road due to damages incurred during one of the service delivery protests, which saw the bus totally burnt to the ground. With these buses under operation, Piotrans is committed to deliver quality, reliable and safe transport services to all persons that travel daily between Soweto and Johannesburg’s CBD.
