South Africa's Promise to The World
Transport services for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ will
be greatly increased to accommodate the many thousands of international spectators
and South Africans who will travel to matches in and around the country.
General spectators will be able to travel using expanded public
transport services between all host cities.
Travel between the larger cities will be focused on air. Connections to the smaller
host cities will be served mainly by
inter-city buses and trains. Within
host cities public transport network services will be supplemented
by airport to city bus links and park and ride services to the stadiums and fan
parks.
Mr Sibusiso Ndebele, Minister of Transport
Ensuring effective and efficient transport communication to all supporters for the
2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South
Africa. Message From our Minister Of Transport: "WE CAN
DO IT!"
We have no doubt that we can do it. We are certain that we will host a successful
2010 FIFA World Cup™ in 2010.
Our experience in hosting major international sporting events was always going to
put us in good stead. Only a year into our democracy, South
Africa hosted and won the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
The following year we added another feather to our hat by staging a successful African
Cup of Nations, which our national football team won.

The vuvuzela, a brightly coloured plastic trumpet, symbolises football in South Africa. It is an instrument of jubilation and personifies the atmosphere at South African football matches.
-
South Africa’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, named Rea Vaya meaning “we are moving” will provide a fast, safe, affordable and superior public transport.
-
Minibus taxis are the fastest way to travel in the city. They are small scale bus services, often unmarked, operating with neither timetables nor formal stops. They re-define the word taxi!

The 2010 FIFA World Cup™ and Transport Investment in South Africa
Overview
The 2010 FIFA World Cup™ hosting has been a major
catalyst for transport infrastructure and systems investment across the country.
Many initiatives will be complete for the start of the event, while many programmes
will continue beyond. Major investments, particularly in public
transport restructuring and upgrading, is now firmly established as a
long term programme of development and a lasting legacy of the
2010 FIFA World Cup™ for the country.
Back in 2005 the Department of Transport, in consultation
with the transport sector, developed the 2010 Transport Action Plan. The broad principles
of the 2010 Transport Action Plan are to:
- Accelerate existing transport plans and maximise existing transport infrastructure
- Improve public transport and promote its use
- Integrate existing transport services
- Accelerate implementation of the Government’s economic and sustainable development
policies
Host Cities
2010 FIFA World Cup™ transport projects, focused
in the 9 host cities, are funded through the Public Transport Infrastructure and
System Grant, with an allocation of around R13 billion for investment in:
- Public transport and road infrastructure
- Rail upgrades
- Intermodal facilities
- Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems
- Inner-city mobility systems
- Call-centre systems
- Airport-city links
- Passenger safety
- Intelligent transport systems
Air Transport
South Africa has a solid aviation infrastructure. The Airports
Company South Africa is completing a R20 billion airport-infrastructure
expansion programme to meet the ongoing growth and enable South Africa’s airports
to accommodate 2010 FIFA World Cup™ demands.
Some of the regional transport programmes being implemented and coming on stream
for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ include:
- The Gautrain Rapid Rail Link linking the major business and commercial centres of
Gauteng and ORTIA (OR Tambo International Airport).
- Ongoing upgrading of the excellent National Roads Network, including the N1 and
N2 Toll Highway, costing R 5 billion. The Gauteng Freeway Improvement Scheme at
a cost of R23 billion.
