The City of Cape Town is set to build a new MyCiTi station in Maitland and it wants you to have your say.
The bus station will be located alongside the Maitland rail station and existing minibus-taxi facility in Ferndale Drive.
This will form Ferndale Drive and a small section of Station Road into one-way streets to improve traffic flow.
‘The new MyCiTi station will be built next to the Maitland rail station and opposite the existing minibus-taxi facility to improve integration between the different modes of transport. With the public transport services close together, commuters will find it easy to transfer from the one mode – be it passenger rail or minibus-taxis – to the MyCiTi bus service to commute to the Cape Town CBD and beyond,’
Said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
If goes as planned, the construction will start in July 2024 with the MyCiTi station becoming operational by mid-2026.
However, the station will be ready to receive commuters, and My CiTi is looking at adding new routes between Dunoon and Century City via Maitland; Omuramba, Salt River and the CBD via Maitland, and Century City rail station and the Maitland rail station.
