“We have always supported big events by enhancing our services, and when the rugby team returned from last year's World Cup we offered a free airport meet and greet service.
“Similarly, during the recent rugby match at Ellis Park, we partnered with Prasa to ensure seamless connectivity for our users. This initiative positions Gauteng as a leading destination for the event. It will contribute to tourism growth while alleviating road congestion and providing easy access to venues.”
Gautrain's standard service, which normally ends at 8.30pm, will be extended for the concert, with the last train leaving Park Station at midnight.
Regular train, bus and parking charges apply.
Additionally, a bus shuttle service connects Park Station to FNB Stadium. The first shuttle will leave Park Station at 11 a.m. and the last shuttle will leave the stadium at 11:30 p.m.
Passengers can conveniently pay with a contactless bank card or purchase a Gautrain card for R20.
Gautrain Management Authority CEO Tshepo Kgobe said the service was about more than just providing efficient public transport for commuters.
“Our goal is to provide efficient public transportation not only for daily commuters, but also for major social, sporting and lifestyle events.
“This integrated transport service will reduce road congestion, minimize accidents and encourage the use of public transport instead of private cars.”
