MyCiTi buses will run one hour later on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays during the festive season, starting on 1 December 2012. There will be a special after-midnight service on 31 December to accommodate New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The extended hours are in response to requests from MyCiTi passengers for a late-night service and are part of the service’s commitment to constantly seek ways of making it easier to use public transport rather than private vehicles.
When the extended hours start on Saturday, 1 December, the times of the last departures will be as follows:
- Civic Centre station: 23:00
- Table View station for the Blouberg Sands, Parklands and Big Bay services: 23:35 to 23:45
On New Year’s Eve, the last departure from the VA Waterfront will be at 01:00. This service will connect at the Civic Centre station with services to Table View and Gardens.
All-night revellers should note that the first bus departs from Civic Centre station to Table View at 06:05 on New Year’s day.
To accommodate these extended hours, the Civic Centre and Table View station kiosks will remain open until 23:00 on weekends and public holidays. Buses depart every 20 minutes on weekends and public holidays.
The City of Cape Town urges all Capetonians to try a MyCiTi bus this holiday season.
“MyCiTi is safe, smart and affordable –a service to be proud of,” says Councillor Brett Herron, Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Roads and Stormwater. “We are providing these services in response to requests from MyCiTi passengers, and we hope that large numbers of people will make use of this service – which is extremely safe, even at night.”
