The MyCiTi N2 Express service between Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha and the Cape Town CBD is set to resume in February 2022 after a new operating contract was signed with the N2 Company, equally owned by the Congress of Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta).
The N2 Express service, which provided affordable, regular, and scheduled public transport between Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha and the Civic Centre station was suspended at the end of May 2019.
According to the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Rob Quintas, more than 6 000 commuters from Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha will once again benefit from the N2 Express service once the buses are back on the road if all goes as planned.
“We look forward to seeing the N2 Express service up and running as soon as possible. Capetonians urgently need safe, affordable and reliable public transport. With the return of the N2 Express service, thousands of commuters from Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha will be able to board the blue MyCiTi buses to the Cape Town CBD,” Quintas said

Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis further mentioned that the City’s economy needs to grow so that more jobs can be created and improve the lives of all who calls Cape Town their home.
“Cape Town has a prosperous future and it includes all of us. This is a good news moment on that journey,” Hill-Lewis indicated.
The N2 Express service will operate again along four MyCiTi routes in Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha:
- D01 between Khayelitsha East and the Civic Centre
