New, permanent MyCiTi stops for Cape Town
The City of Cape Town will soon be converting 77 of their temporary MyCiTi bus stops into permanent bus stop structures.
As explained by the City, temporary MyCiTi stops are always first constructed along routes to allow planners to test and confirm the safest, most convenient location for each stop before a permanent MyCiTi stop is built.
“The best locations for the 77 temporary stops have now been confirmed, following a thorough public participation process. As a result, I am pleased to announce that these stops will now be converted to permanent bus stops providing shelter, improved visibility and more comfort for our passengers. This is part of our motto to do all we can to keep Capetonians moving,” the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas said.
Cape Town residents and MyCiTi passengers can look forward to new features like, wheelchair ramps, leaning rails for passenger comfort, totem poles with lighting for improved visibility, bus service information, as well as shelters with seating at high-traffic stops.
When and where?
The work on the 77 new stops is scheduled to begin this March and will continue in phases until July 2026, at the following locations:
- Atlantis
- Century City
- Melkbosstrand
- Blaauwbergstrand
- Milnerton
- Hout Bay
- Mitchells Plain
- Summer Greens
- Sunningdale
- Woodstock
The City of Cape Town added that MyCiTi bus services will remain fully operational during this construction process, but passengers should expect minor delays and are encouraged to plan ahead and to download the MyCiTi app for the latest bus times.
