‘Sinivile, we have heard you, and in response to passenger requests on safety and proximity, we have added two more MyCiTi stops in Khayelitsha and one more in Atlantis,’ said the City’s mayoral committee member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
‘A number of requests and suggestions are received on an ongoing basis via the Transport Information Centre, MyCiTi website, app and social media. All requests are considered and assessed before a decision is reached. In this way, MyCiTi is a dynamic, responsive transport system that responds to passenger needs by regularly reviewing and optimising routes and services to keep Cape Town moving.’
The two additional route D02 stops in Khayelitsha are:
- Lookout Hill – Intersection of Spine Road and Victoria Mxenge Road
- Khwebula – Between the Makabeni and Ngingcu stops
The additional route T03 stop in Atlantis is:
- Hillary – Between Ankerlig Power Station and Neil Hare stops
The route improvements and new stops for Table View and surrounds are:
- Route 214 buses will be extended to serve four new stops in the Rivergate region. Improvements to the highway will speed up travel from Pioneer Valley to Table View. Route 216 will be redesigned to connect with Parklands North, offering a direct route from Wood Station to Table Bay Mall and then via Cormorant Avenue to Big Bay. As a result, the previously inactive Seaside Village and Cormorant stops will be revived, while the Humewood and Devonshire stops will be deactivated until further notice. Five more stops will be added along the revised route.
- Routes T01, D05, and 215, with improved running times and more buses in morning and afternoon peak periods, will receive minor timetable improvements. • The T01x express service will now include Potsdam and Circle East stations, providing a faster journey option for passengers heading to Table View and the city centre.
‘In Table View, routes are being adjusted to better service the majority of our existing passengers while reaching newly developed areas around this growing part of the city, notably the Rivergate and Parklands north areas. These adjustments will improve access to services for many more people and importantly, create a more direct connection between Table View, Parklands North, Table Bay Mall and Big Bay.’
For more information, passengers can call the City’s Transport Information Centre, which deals with MyCiTi enquiries and is free from any phone. Contact 0800 65 64 63 or email [email protected].
