Given the earlier and ongoing disruptions to public transport (ferries, trains and buses), and in the interests of public safety people are advised not to return to downtown/the Queens' Wharf unless they absolutely have to.

If Eden Park patrons had a travel plan in place before tonight, think about revising it and perhaps use alternative means to get home safely - ie walk with a group of friends or pay a little more money and use a taxi.

The city is full of revellers - some of whom are less well-behaved than others - and anyone who doesn't need to return to the city should stay away from it after the rugby match finishes.
