MyCiTi shuttles will begin running at noon, departing from the Civic Centre station, Thibault Square, the CTICC, Century City, UCT, and Green Point Park and transporting supporters to the DHL Stadium.

Trains
In addition to the MyCiTi shuttle service, rugby fans can travel part of their journey by rail on Saturday.

The train station and the MyCiTi Civic Centre Station are only a 200-metre walk apart, so our rugby fans should be adequately protected throughout their journey. All passengers pay standard rail rates.
