City says MyCiTi bus depot on track to be completed next year

Construction on MyCiTi depots on the corner of Spine Road and Mew Way between Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain is 65% complete., construction on the 15-hectare site was delayed due to extortion attempts by the ‘construction mafia’. Work started in August 2022.

‘I am happy to see good progress in the construction of the new MyCiTi depots, which will be at the heart of operations for this big extension of the MyCiTi bus system,’ says Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis. ‘The city is working at pace to expand the MyCiTi bus service to the metro-southeast, specifically to Philippi, Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha.’

‘Once complete, hundreds of thousands of commuters will have access to safe, reliable, direct public transport along one of the busiest transport routes in the city.’Looking for things to do in the city at half the price?
