On Sunday 2 June 2013, trips will be free all day for passengers travelling on all MyCiTi routes, to celebrate the second anniversary of this very popular service.
This is one of the ways the City hopes to market the service as well as promoting sustianable transport use among its citizens. “The free rides are a way of thanking all of our passengers for taking the bus,” says Councillor Brett Herron, Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Roads and Stormwater. Each one of the passengers have played an important role in making the service thesuccessthat it is.
Councillor Herron said that they also want to encourage new passengers from across Cape Town to try out the service to get a taste of what is to come as the service expands. He urged citizens to “Bundle up” against the winter weather on free-ride Sunday and take the bus to see many of the West Coast and CBD’s special sites, from the vantage of a MyCiTi bus: including Milnerton Beach, stunning Bloubergstrand, Big Bay, the Company’s Garden or the Green Point Urban Park. Passengers can take as many MyCiTi trips as they choose, without paying a cent for their travel. There will be no need to use a myconnect card on free ride Sunday.
“Have a great day exploring Cape Town on free-ride Sunday. We look forward to welcoming you on board,” said Cllr Herron.
