On Thursday, Councillor Rob Quintas, the City’s Mayco member for urban mobility, visited the refurbished MyCiTi Woodstock station to see the work that has been done to restore the station over the last six months.
In February 2022, a stationary bus caught alight at the station, causing extensive damage. Following an assessment of the station, the City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate determined that 80% of the Woodstock MyCiTi station was severely damaged and needed to be rebuilt.
