The Gautrain has partnered with PRASA to provide rugby fans with smooth, hassle-free travel to this weekend’s highly anticipated match between South Africa and Australia at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg on 16 August 2025.
To avoid traffic congestion before and after the game, commuters are encouraged to leave their cars at home.
Fans can take the Gautrain to Park Station and then connect directly to the stadium via a PRASA train.
Return trips will be just as convenient, with trains running after the final whistle to ensure supporters get home safely and efficiently.
“This collaboration with PRASA forms part of our broader efforts to create a more integrated, accessible public transport system, particularly for major sports, entertainment, and lifestyle events,” said Tshepo Kgobe, CEO of the Gautrain Management Agency.
“With our parking fees at R1 a day when you ride the train, a promotion running until 31 October 2025, we urge all rugby fans to take advantage of this safe, convenient, and seamless service, and help ease the pressure on Johannesburg’s roads.
