The MyCiti bus service between Table View and Cape Town city centre is now operative. More details about this route can be found on the MyCiti website - » click here «
On this page we summarise the most important information about the service.
Routes
Table View – Civic Centre
A dedicated lane connects Table View station in Blaauwberg Road and Civic Centre, on Hertzog Boulevard in the CBD, via Paarden Eiland and Woodstock. There is also a new pedestrian access route from the suburb of Brooklyn across the canal to stations at Zoarvlei and Vrystaat, and a connection to the rail system at Woodstock. At Civic Centre station, commuters can change to a feeder service, which runs to the Gardens via Long Street and to the Waterfront via Green Point, or to the convenient and affordable Airport service.
Table View feeder bus services
The purpose of these routes is to move people from their homes to the main trunk route. There are a total of 120 temporary stops on three bus routes, moving people between Parklands, Blouberg Sands and Big Bay and the main station at Table View. These temporary stops and routes are designed to test demand and travelling patterns ahead of a more extensive and permanent network of feeder routes.
Gardens-Civic-Waterfront
From 05:45 until 22:00 MyCiTi buses give easy access to the central business district, entertainment zones, hotels, restaurants and public spaces, cultural and historic landmarks, from the Gardens via Long and Loop Street to the Waterfront, via the Convention Centre and Green Point.

Connections
Civic Centre station in Hertzog Boulevard, Cape Town, is the hub of MyCiTi services, connecting the Gardens-Waterfront services to the trunk route to Table View and feeder services in the Table View area. The Civic Centre station is also the drop-off and pick-up point for the MyCiTi service to the Airport. There are also convenient connections around Civic Centre station to suburban and long-distance rail, local and inter-city bus services, minibus and metered taxis, located in the central city public transport precinct.
Cycling and walking
A major part of the MyCiTi system is a network of cycling paths and upgraded pedestrian walkways connecting to the bus routes. Already many cyclists and pedestrians are using the special NMT lane from Table View to Cape Town city centre. There is a planned link to this route from the cycle network in other parts of the city.
Bicycles are welcome on the buses, although access on the Table View-Civic Centre route, with its convenient level boarding, is easier than on the temporary feeder routes, where passengers board from the pavement. The intention is also to provide secure bicycle storage facilities at major stations.
Using public transport means walking more, which offers many health and lifestyle benefits. Improved pavements with benches, street lighting and creative landscaping will make the experience more enjoyable.
The more people who walk and cycle in the vicinity of the stops and stations, the safer the MyCiTi system will be.
