The MyCiTi bus has today suspended all its services this is due to the on going nationwide bus strike.

Negations between employers and unions have been unsuccessful. 

Bus drivers are demanding a 13 percent increase while employers are only offering 9 percent.

City of Cape Town’s Spokesperson Kylie Hatton explains that the decision was made after they received a number of threats of violence and intimidation towards their staff.

Hatton added that they will monitor the developments throughout the course of the day and if customers would like to use the service they are encouraged to call the transport information centre on 0800 656463.

“This number can be used to get updates on the service and as soon as we are able to we will start running the service again,” said Hatton.
