The MyCiTi Integrated Rapid Transit (IRT) system is an initiative to transform public transport in Cape Town. The City plans to promote the integration of all transport options into a coherent public transport service for Capetonians and visitors.
In this regard the City of Cape Town is in the process of implementing Phase 1A of the MyCiTi system, with its main emphasis currently being the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) component.
It comprises a shuttle to the Cape Town Stadium during events, and BRT services in the inner city (from as far as Hout Bay), from the airport, and along the corridor from Atlantis, Blaauwberg and Du Noon to the inner city. This includes newly developed high-density residential areas as well as low-income communities.
The first version of the business plan for this phase is now out of date and Council approved Version 2 of the business plan on 28 July 2010, for public comment and for national funding process, with the aim to finalise and adopt the plan by October 2010.
The July 2010 business plan, including an overview thereof, and other related documents, will be available at the City’s municipal buildings and libraries.
