On 3rd December 2008, the City of Cape Town resolved to establish a Municipal Entity as the appropriate mechanism to provide municipal public transport services in terms of the requirements of the Municipal Systems Act No. 32 of 2003. Further to this process, the public is invited to make comments in terms of Section 84 of the Municipal Financial Management Act No 56 of 2003.

The Municipal Entity will manage and administer Cape Town’s municipal public transport operations. The City will retain overall strategic planning and policy formulation in respect of transport services.

More information about the Municipal Entity is available in a document entitled “Information Statement on the Establishment of a Municipal Entity for the Provision of Municipal Public Transport Services” at the City’s head and satellite offices. Copies are also obtainable from City libraries. Online readers can access the document by clicking here.
