The City is availing a free MyCiti bus shuttle from the Cape Town Civic Centre, Thibault Square and the CTICC for ticket holders of the United Rugby Championship match between the DHL Stormers and Munster taking place at the DHL Stadium tomorrow, October 19.

This was in light of parking restrictions put in place in Green Point, Sea Point and Mouille Point for the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, which will take place on Sunday October 20.

Residents were urged avoid parking along the race’s route to create a car-free route to increase the city’s chances of inclusion in the Abbott World Marathon Majors.

The DHL Stormers are playing their first home game of the 2024/25 season after a three-game tour of Europe. Gates for the match open at 4pm with kick-off at 6pm.

Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said as a result of parking restrictions in Green Point, Sea Point and Mouille Point, there will be limited to no parking in the precinct and surrounds.

He therefore urged spectators to make use of the free MyCiTi shuttle.

“Park in the CBD, use the Fan Walk or get on a free bus to the stadium to avoid being stuck in traffic congestion.”

He said they would also like to discourage people from parking illegally in the residential areas in their pursuit of parking close to the stadium, adding that Illegally parked vehicles will be fined and towed.

The MyCiTi shuttle service will take spectators to the stadium from the Cape Town Civic Centre and the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from 3.30pm.

Buses will depart from these points frequently or when full. The last bus after the game will leave the stadium station at 10.pm.

The City will open up its secure parking area at the civic centre for rugby spectators on Saturday, with spaces available on a first-come first-served basis from 3pm.

The parking areas are accessible from Hertzog Boulevard incoming and on Civic Road. The parking is free.

Paid for parking is available at the CTICC for those taking the bus from the convention centre.
