Stadium Management implement park and ride system for Soweto Derby
Stadium Management South Africa (SMSA) is pleased to announce the implementation of a park and ride system for the highly anticipated Derby between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, scheduled to take place on 1 February 2025.
This initiative aims to address the long-standing issue of traffic congestion experienced during the Derby and to expand the public transport options available to attendees. The decision follows the tremendous success of the park and ride option at the recent Chris Brown concert, where nearly 20 000 patrons utilised the service on each concert day.
Speaking about the initiative, Bertie Grobbelaar, CEO of SMSA, stated: “The massive success of the park and ride option at the Chris Brown concert demonstrates the significant demand for alternative and convenient transport solutions. We are excited to extend this option to Derby attendees, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free match-day experience.”
To further streamline the experience, the traffic and transport management plan for the Derby includes dedicated bus lanes to and from the venue, ensuring minimal delays and maximum convenience.
