In response to a DA Parliamentary question, it was revealed that the DA-led Cape Town Metro is spending R5.2 billion on rolling out MyCiti bus services to Phase 2A, formerly known as the Lansdowne-Wetton Corridor. The expansion will accommodate a further 1.5 million commuters across the City.
The MyCiti bus services will be coming to:
- Khayelitsha
- Mitchells Plain
- Nyanga
- Phillipi
- Ottery
- Hanover Park
- Wynberg
- Claremont
Not only will the expansion of MyCiti offer safe, affordable, and reliable transport options for some of the City’s most in-need communities, but the expansion is also set to create an estimated 9000 job opportunities in the Metro’s south east communities and an additional 1008 jobs will be created to operate these expanded services.
MPP Derrick America said: “DA governments in the Western Cape continue to spend billions of rands to create integrated communities and drive equality. This expansion will drive economic development and support equality and inclusivity by providing access to economic activities and opportunities to all the residents of Cape Town.”
