Game Day, reinvented: The proposed multimodal Capetrain Express Station at DHL Stadium will be designed for mass transit. Enough to get everyone there in perfect time to watch kick-off. This means Atlantic Seaboard carmaggeddon is averted. Match-related 3-hour city-wide traffic jams cancelled, for fans, for the Stormers, and for everyone, forever.

Flying over Cape Town’s busiest traffic intersection at the bottom of Buitengracht Street, the proposed Capetrain Express line envisaged on the Foreshore would dramatically increase the capacity from the theoretical maximum of 3 500 vehicles per hour per direction in a best-case scenario of the completed foreshore freeways, to over 20 000 people per hour per direction on a Capetrain Express service in the same location.

With no freeway bottlenecks or commuter behaviour dependence, overall travel times would not be impacted, meaning that this projected throughput would be realisable and repeatable with certainty for every journey.

This new high-capacity express line would enable a significant and consistent reduction in overall travel times across the Cape Town Metropolitan Region and sustainably enable the continued development and densification of the city well into the later-half of the century, while allowing the efficient hosting of multiple major events at any given time.
