MYCITI: TAKE A TRIP DIRECTLY TO SEA POINT
New bus route opened DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
A
new MyCiti route that will connect commuters from Atlantis, Milnerton and Table View directly to Sea Point, was introduced last week. The 115 service is an extension of the T02 Atlantis route and will allow commuters to travel to Sea Point and return, via the Grand Parade, without having to transfer to another bus, according to a City press release. During a council sitting last week, Cape Town mayor Dan Plato announced the City’s plans to put forward a proposal to approve
an agreement with the Dutch government, whereby the City of Cape Town’s transport directorate will receive R300 million of grant funding over the next five to 10 years to improve public transport for commuters from Khayelitsha. “This funding agreement is known as the Orio Project and is a collaboration between the City and the Dutch government for the roll-out of the MyCiTi bus service between Khayelitsha and Wynberg and Claremont,” said Plato. The grant funding will be spent on the construction of new trunk routes and feeder routes for the MyCiTi buses, as well as bus
stops and stations, and a bus depot in Khayelitsha. “Given that the MyCiTi service will be connecting commuters with other modes of transport, such as minibus-taxis and trains, the funding will also assist in improving the Nyanga, Khayelitsha, Nolungile and Vuyani public transport interchanges,” he said. Felicity Purchase, Mayco member for transport, last week told TygerBurger that the roll-out of the above routes (Phase 2A), between the metro south-east and Claremont and Wynberg, currently enjoy priority. Commuters in the northern suburbs of Ca-
pe Town, might have to wait another 10 years for MyCiTi bus routes. “The other MyCiTi bus routes will only follow thereafter and is dependent on the funding we get from national government. She explained that the City’s approved Integrated Public Transport Network Plan 2032, includes a number of trunk routes serving the northern suburbs, when finally rolled out before or by 2032 – a trunk route on Symphony Way linking metro south east and Bellville to Durbanville; a trunk route linking Westlake and Bellville; and a trunk route linking Kraaifontein and Century City via Bellville.
