The City’s Urban Mobility Directorate plans to make permanent MyCiti bus stops in suburbs including Atlantis, Century City, Hout Bay, Melkbosstrand, Milnerton, Mitchells Plain, Summer Greens, Sunningdale and Woodstock.
‘The City is continuously monitoring the MyCiTi service to see how we can improve our offering and make it more convenient, and safer for commuters,’ says the City’s urban mobility Mayco member Rob Quintas.
‘Our team has now finalised the exact locations for the construction of new permanent stops along the existing MyCiTi routes and would like communities and commuters to provide input on the proposed plans.’

He adds that some permanent bus stops will be built at a slightly different location to the current temporary stops to allow for road safety needs, space limitations, easier access for passengers and links with future MyCiti routes.
The permanent MyCiti bus stops will feature name posts with lighting, leaning rails, bus service information and universal access measures such as tactile paving for the visually impaired and ramps for wheelchairs.
Furthermore, stops with high passenger traffic will feature sheltered seating.
The closing date for comment is 31 October 2023. For more information, visit https://www.myciti.org.za/en/permanent-stops-conversion/.
