Soweto Derby Introduces Park and Ride System for Seamless Match-Day Experience

The highly anticipated Soweto Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, set for 1 February 2025, is a sold-out event. To address traffic congestion and enhance public transport options, Stadium Management South Africa (SMSA) has introduced a Park and Ride system, building on the success of a similar initiative during the Chris Brown concert.
A Solution to Match-Day Congestion
The Park and Ride system provides spectators with secure parking and convenient transportation to FNB Stadium, reducing the stress of navigating match-day traffic. Bertie Grobbelaar, CEO of SMSA, expressed excitement about the initiative:
“The success of the park and ride option at the Chris Brown concert demonstrates the demand for alternative, convenient transport solutions. Extending this service to Derby attendees ensures a seamless and hassle-free match-day experience.”
To improve efficiency, dedicated bus lanes will operate to and from the stadium, minimizing fan delays.
