City of Cape Town MMC for Urban Mobility Rob Quintas said they are excited about the many visitors who will be enjoying the beautiful Mother City this festive season.
“We want to encourage all to make use of the MyCiTi bus service. MyCiTi is a convenient, affordable travel option, especially during our busiest season when traffic congestion and parking can be a source of headaches. Commuters can travel to various recreational spots and shopping centres day and night, and all that’s needed is a valid myconnect card loaded with Mover Points,” he said.
