FF Gertse

THE ULTIMATE CHOICE

THE ULTIMATE CHOICE OUR STORY FF Gertse Transport Services was founded by Mr. Floors F Gertse in 2013 after identifying the need for proper transportation between his home town Kenhardt in the Northern Cape and Western Cape.

He established a daily route running three to four times a week between the two provinces as was needed.

After a short period of time with excellent management he bought several coaches and started working with major companies in the Mining industry transporting their staff from accommodation to the mining sites in the Northern Cape Province.

In 2016 FF Gertse Transport Services started their touring transport department partnering with CoachFairy Transport Services to take the TOURISM TRANSPORTATION industry by storm, running tours across South Africa and into neighboring countries such as Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.

For the past year, FF Gertse Transport Services worked with RUWACON CONSTRUCTION and other smaller contractors on a 20 year Solar Plant Project in the Northern Cape, transporting their staff to and from the site on a daily basis with over 10 coaches, midibuses and minibuses ensuring their staff is on time and ready for work.

In 2020 when the intercity giants closed their doors due to COVID19, FF Gertse Transport Services saw the urgent need and opportunity in this unique situation, and was willing to take the risk to assist South Africans with safe, reliable, and affordable transport between Cape Town, Johannesburg, Gqeberha, formerly known as Port Elizabeth, and Northern Cape. The core focus of FF Gertse Transport is to be the most reliable, safe, and

cost-effective passenger liner in South Africa to supply transport to all walks of life, or should we say all wheels of life.
