Cape Town - The City of Cape Town is availing a free MyCiTi shuttle service for ticket holders to travel to the DHL Stadium for the United Rugby Championship final between the Stormers and the Bulls on Saturday.
About 31 000 spectators are expected.
Buses will depart from the Civic Centre and Thibault Square stations from 3.30pm on Saturday.
The last return bus will leave the Stadium station at 11pm.
“Parking is limited in the stadium precinct, therefore the City would also like to encourage rugby fans to make use of a park and ride system,” the City said.
