NEW PUBLIC TRANSPORT INTERCHANGE IN SOMERSET WEST The City of Cape Town will spend approximately R65 million on the construction of a new public transport interchange (PTI) in Somerset West.
It is designed for minibus taxi operators, bus services, informal traders and commuters. If all goes as planned, the building work will commence by the end of November 2021.
The construction of the new PTI is the biggest public investment in the central business district of the town in recent years and will give the CBD area multiple benefits for commuters, pedestrians, public transport operators and traders. The PTI will be constructed on two different sites in the CBD: one behind the town hall and the other on the Shoprite side.
