Soccer’s ruling body Fifa flagged transport as a major issue after the Confederations Cup tournament last month, which was seen as a dress rehearsal for the much bigger 2010 competition, the world’s most watched sports event.
There were serious difficulties with getting fans away from stadiums after matches in the eight-nation tournament.
Fifa also highlighted lack of accommodation and security in crime-plagued South Africa as issues to be solved before 2010.
