<p>Our MyCiTi buses are a great way to get around the city, while saving on fuel costs and relieving our already very busy roads of cars. MyCiTi buses are safe and efficient, with multiple stops and drops around the city connecting you to major transport routes and networks including the airport – suiting the needs of both commuters and visitors. <a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Forms%2c%20notices%2c%20tariffs%20and%20lists/Park-and-Ride_Stations_and_Street_Names_List.pdf" target="_blank">Park-and-Ride facilities </a>are also available, connecting private transport users to public transport.</p><p>The buses are also a great choice when considering the environment. Our larger and original buses comply with Euro 4 emission standards and our smaller, newer buses meet very strict Euro 5 emission standards. We also reduce emissions by mixing special additives into our diesel fuel. MyCiTi is really the greenest way to travel in South Africa. </p><div class="notification with-heading dark-copy light-blue bg-light-grey"><div class="graphic with-border">
