MyCiTi public transport system expand
Story 3
The City of Cape Town is expanding its MyCiTi public transport system.
This multi-billion rand project will connect over 30 suburbs to the inner city, providing residents with improved and more affordable transportation options.
Expected to be completed by June 2027, the project promises to bridge the gap in public transport accessibility, particularly in the southeast corridor.
Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas, says the City views subsidizing the MyCiTi service as a vital investment in its residents, especially those from poorer households.
