​The City of Johannesburg's Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system will operate special services to transport fans to the Soweto Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium on Saturday, 31 October 2026. Fans can purchase account-based ticketing cards at all Rea Vaya stations for R30. They are encouraged to load sufficient funds for return trips. The cards can also be used for daily travel and future events.

Trunk, feeder and event buses will serve Soweto, the Joburg CBD, Alexandra, Sandton and surrounding areas, including Newlands, Florida North, Greymont, Fleurhof, Cresta, Windsor West, Parktown, Yeoville and Bellevue.

Fans travelling from Sandton and Alexandra can use T4 buses and connect to T2 buses at Brenthurst Station. Alternatively, they can travel to Library Gardens East and connect to event buses at Library Gardens West.

Passengers using T3 buses from the Joburg CBD and Braamfontein can connect to event buses at Orlando Stadium for onward travel to FNB Stadium at no additional cost. T3 buses will operate every 15 minutes throughout the day.

Event bus services will increase to every five minutes between 11:30 and 15:30. The Rea Vaya Soccer City station will open at 10:00. The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department advises fans to travel early ahead of the 15:30 kick-off. Alcohol is prohibited on Rea Vaya buses.

After the match, buses departing FNB Stadium will operate every five minutes to transport fans to their destinations.

Park-and-ride facilities

Free parking will be available at Johannesburg Stadium and Indingilizi in Dobsonville, with security personnel on site.

Fans with pre-purchased Rea Vaya packages must present their transport-inclusive match tickets for verification. Johannesburg Stadium parking and return transport are included in the package.
