    1. Take a ride-hailing platform (Uber or Bolt): the most recommended and easy (about 5-10 minutes)
    2. Walking: Suitable as a pre-race walk, if you have a lot of energy and good weather, this is a great way to get to know the city.
      Daytime Only: Be sure to walk during the day when there is good light.
      Traveling in a Companion: It is recommended to travel with a travel companion and avoid going alone.
      Take the main road: Please walk on crowded roads or sidewalks, always pay attention to the surrounding environment, and do not lose your wealth.
    3. MyCiTi Bus (Local Bus): Experience local life
      Cape Town has a clean and convenient MyCiTi bus system, but for short-term visitors, it can be a bit of a hassle to purchase a ticket first. Method: You need to purchase a "myconnect" card at the station or designated store and recharge it. It takes about 7 minutes (450 meters) to walk from the hotel, get on the bus at "Thibault Square", take one stop to "Stadium", and walk for about 9 minutes (about 750 meters) to Cape Town Stadium.
