The City of Cape Town wishes to alert all MyCiTi passengers that fares on the bus service will go up on 1 July 2012, with a 6% increase for the commuter routes.
The fare increases are among the annual service tariff increases levied by the City at the start of each new financial year, all of which are described in the City’s draft budget.
The tariff for a trip on the trunk service between the Civic Centre and Table View will increase from R10 to R10,60 when the new fares kick in on 1 July, and the fare for a trip on the feeder service will rise from R5 to R5,30.
The airport service tariff will increase from R53 to R57 for adults and R26 to R28,10 for children. The cost of a monthly ticket for the airport service will rise from R424 to R449.50, and the cost of issuing a myconnect card will increase from R22 to R23. MyCiTi fares are exempt from VAT.
“We are confident that the increases are reasonable and that the MyCiTi service remains very competitively priced,” said Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Roads and Stormwater, Councillor Brett Herron.
