The City is overjoyed at this nomination, as world leaders in the field of transport ticketing acknowledge that the MyCiTi bus service is an efficient and world-class service.
“There is still a lot of work to be done, but this nomination shows that we are on the right track”, comments Councillor Brett Herron, Mayoral Committee Member: Transport for Cape Town. “The myconnect card makes it possible for passengers to budget for their travel expenses and use a single, cashless card system to pay for their journey.
Our goal is to link the MyCiTi bus service with other modes of transport as seamlessly as possible, in an integrated rapid transit system where commuters can use one simple means of payment, on all modes of public transport. This is Transport for Cape Town’s commitment to providing an integrated, affordable and efficient public transport system for all communities across the city.”
