The City of Cape Town has announced its game day logistics for the Springboks and Barbarians match this Saturday at DHL Stadium.

This includes an expanded free Park-and-Ride service for spectators. Ticket holders have been encouraged to make use of this system in order to avoid delays.

The free MyCiTi shuttle service will operate from Century City, the CTICC, Thibault Square and the Civic Centre

More than 40,000 spectators are expected at DHL Stadium, which will affect traffic.

The MMC for Safety and Security JP Smith says to reduce congestion and help fans get to the stadium on time, the City has worked closely with the event organiser to provide alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles.

“We strongly encourage all spectators to make use of the park-and-ride system, which is a convenient and reliable way to avoid delays and ensure a smooth journey to the venue. The shuttle, with its dedicated lane to the stadium, will ensure that you beat the traffic and get to the stadium smoothly.”
