Traveling to the Bafana Bafana vs Mexico today or one of the other matches at Soccer City, well here is everything you will need to know about Match Day ! Use Public Transport OptionsDuring the tournament fans are encouraged to use the various public transport options as well as tournament specific transport such as the park and rides and park and walks in each of the host cities.
However we want to encourage fans to not rely solely on the park and rides. They should travel to the transport hubs in each host city and use the array of buses, taxis, shuttles and commuter rail options that will be available.
No Private Vehicles near Stadium PrecinctsSpectators should be aware of the fact that no private vehicles will be allowed within the stadium precincts and only people with valid, official tickets for the match will be admitted to the immediate surrounding areas. Private vehicles will also not be allowed to park close to the stadiums due to the exclusion zones which will be put in place.
