There are several public transport options of getting to that crucial World Cup match: check them out and make sure you are well prepared ahead of time.

FOOTBALL fans going to watch the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ matches in Joburg are assured of a safe and reliable transport system to the Soccer City and Ellis Park stadiums.

No parking will be provided at either host stadium.There are several ways of getting to the stadiums.

The two key options are: Johannesburg's Bus Rapid Transit system, Rea Vaya, which operates buses on dedicated lanes between Ellis Park and Soweto, and the Metrorail service for commuters wanting to use the train service to the stations near the stadiums.

Fans wishing to use private transport can make use of the various Park and Ride and Park and Walk facilities.

Fans are, however, advised to have all information concerning Park and Ride and Park and Walk facilities; train and bus schedules; and ticketing well before any match day.
