Cape Town residents can enjoy some late-night shopping and sunset strolls around popular spots this summer without worrying about their ride home. Starting on Friday, the City has extended its MyCiti bus services to operate from morning until late evening, every day until the 5th of January.
Passengers can again look forward to late-night shopping at the V&A Waterfront and Canal Walk while Atlantis residents can enjoy a special service to the Silwerstroomstrand beach and resort on some weekends and public holidays.
The buses will continue to operate from morning until evening, seven days a week with peak morning and afternoon services being less frequent from 17 December until 5 January 2025 to align with the lower demand over this period.
“We want residents to enjoy their time off without having to worry about traffic as all the holiday makers make their way to the shopping malls and beautiful spots around Cape Town.” Urban Mobility MMC Rob Quintas
As of 6 December, passengers can enjoy doing their late night shopping at Canal Walk knowing the last bus will only be departing Canal Walk at 22:15. The same applies to the V&A Waterfront from 13 December with the last bus only departing from the mall at 22:15.
The City has also confirmed that residents in Atlantis, Pella and Mamre can again look forward to the Silverstroomstrand holiday service between 14 December and 5 January 2025.
“We want you to make the most of your time knowing that you have a frequent; reliable and safe bus service available to you from morning to night”
