The City of Cape Town (COCT) confirmed that the MyCiTi Airport route between the Cape Town International Airport and the Cape Town central business district will resume operations on Monday, November 1.
According to the COCT, the decision comes ahead of the festive season when more visitors from other parts of the country and abroad are expected to visit the Cape. This specific route was suspended in March 2020 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent restrictions on movement and travel.
The COCT’s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Rob Quintas says the MyCiTi Airport route is an ideal option for getting to the CBD from where visitors can seamlessly transfer to other MyCiTi routes that service other parts of Cape Town.
“We anticipate that local visitors and tourists from around the world will start travelling to Cape Town again now that life is gradually returning to normal and people can move around more freely.
“It will be a delight to see these buses back on the road as it will signal that we are on track to economic recovery,” Quintas said.
Times:
The buses will depart every 30 minutes from the Civic Centre and the Airport MyCiTi stations, between 5am and 9:30pm on weekdays and between 6am and 9:30pm on weekends.
Commuters will also need a myconnect card loaded with Mover points to travel on the service. Regular passengers such as those working at the Airport can get a Monthly Pass for R790, while frequent flyers can choose from Day Passes valid for one, three or seven days.
