MyCiti to return to M/Plain & Khayelitsha from 19 February in phased approach

Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha residents will be able to commute to the City via MyCiti’s N2 Express when it resumes services next week.

‘’I want to thank our partners from the N2 Company who will be operating the service: Lisekhonikamva (Codeta) from Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain Rapid Transit (Route Six from Mitchells Plain), and Golden Arrow Bus Services (Gabs) and City officials,’’ said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas

‘’We have been working non-stop over the past few weeks and I am pleased to say that all is on course for the service to resume. The bus fleet is being serviced, bus drivers are being trained and familiarised with the routes, and the vandalised bus shelters will be repaired or replaced in coming weeks,’’ added Quintas.

Quintas said that the first buses of the resumed MyCiti N2 Express service are set to depart from Kapteinsklip in Mitchells Plain and Kuyasa in Khayelitsha shortly after 5am on the 19th of February and travel to the City’s Civic Centre in the CBD.

The mayco member says the service will resume in three phases, starting off with three of the four routes, with all 34 buses being fully operational by 19 March 2022

The phasing of the routes will take place as follows:

·        Phase 1: 19 February to 4 March 2022 (D01, D02, D04), which will be a limited start-up service

·        Phase 2: 5 March to 18 March 2022 (D01, D02, D04), additional buses will be added to match the increase in passenger demand

·        Phase 3: 19 March 2022 onwards (D01, D02, D03, D04), the D03 route is introduced as the service becomes fully operational
