Park and Ride for the FIFA World Cup

Official Cape Town park-and-ride facilities throughout the City

In order to alleviate congestion that is likely to be caused by increased traffic and road closures, the City of Cape Town has appealed to Capetonians to make use of the park-and-ride facilities arranged throughout the City.

For anyone wanting to make a full day of their trip to the Stadium, they can park their cars in the morning and travel through to the Grand Parade to join in the fun at the official Cape Town FIFA Fan Fest, open daily between 11h00 and 23h00. 

From there visitors to the Fan Fest can either follow the pedestrian Fan Walk through the CBD to Green Point, or they can catch the  new inner-city bus service at the corner of Darling and Buitenkant street and change at Civic Centre Station onto the Stadium Shuttle.

Soccer fans not wanting to linger in the CBD after the final whistle blows can ensure they park their cars at those park-and-ride facilities which offer entertainment as well.  Anyone in possession of an official stadium ticket will be granted free travel on the trains.

GrandWest has made 1000 additional parking bays available at the complex and anyone wishing to park there can catch the special trains leaving from the Goodwood station at the back of the complex.  GrandWest offers a 24-hour secure entertainment destination with casinos, restaurants, fast food court, bars, night-club, theatre, cinema complex, children’s entertainment centre, ice-rink, bowling alley and the multi-purpose Grand Arena. 

1500 Parking bays have been made available at Ratanga Junction in Century City and visitors can catch the special buses leaving from there. Century City also offers the Canal Walk Shopping Centre, Cape Town’s biggest shopping mecca with a number of restaurants, coffee shops and fast food outlets in addition to cinemas, go-karting and an entertainment area for children. 

The following areas will operate as park-and-ride facilities every day for the duration of the World Cup.

  • Goodwood – parking at GrandWest Casino & Entertainment World
  • Brackenfell – station parking
  • Fish Hoek – beach parking area
  • Claremont – parking on Palmyra Road, east of the station

  • Camps Bay High School sports field in Maiden’s Cove off Victoria Road
  • University of Cape Town’s Upper Campus in Rondebosch
