The revised schedules will help commuters reaching their destinations safely and conveniently. <br></p> | <p>'We are excited about the many visitors who will be enjoying our beautiful city this festive season. We want to encourage all to make use of the MyCiTi bus service. MyCiTi is a convenient, affordable travel option, especially during our busiest season when traffic congestion and parking can be a source of headaches. Commuters can travel to various recreational spots and shopping centres day and night, and all that's needed is a valid myconnect card loaded with Mover Points,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.</p><p>This year, passengers can once again look forward to late-night shopping with additional trips to Canal Walk and the V&A Waterfront, as well as the special festive season route between Atlantis and the Silwerstroom beach and resort over this period.</p><p></p><p>The Silwerstroom beach and resort service will operate on weekends and public holidays (except on 25 December), and on 2 January 2024. </p><p>Buses will depart from Atlantis station at 09:00 and 13:00 and return from Silwerstroomstrand at 09:30, 14:00 and 18:00. The following stops will be served along the route: </p><ul><li>Arion, </li><li>Charel Uys North, </li><li>Montreal, </li><li>Tsitsikamma, </li><li>Atlantis Cemetery and </li><li>Silwerstream. </li></ul><p>Residents are reminded that our buses will continue operating seven days a week, however, given that fewer passengers will be travelling to work, the standard routes for weekday services will operate at a reduced frequency from 18 December 2023 to 7 January 2024. This means fewer services for routes T01, T02, T03, 261 and 109. It is important to note that route D05 will not operate during this time.</p><p>To cater for all the late-night shopping at Canal Walk and the V&A Waterfront the public are advised of the following:</p><h4>Canal Walk</h4><p>Between 8 and 23 December 2023, the last D08 and T03 bus will depart at 22:15</p><h4>V&A Waterfront</h4><p>Between 14 and 31 December 2023, the last T01 and 214a bus will depart at 23:11 from Table View</p><p>All of the MyCiTi service timetables and route information is available at <a href="https://www.myciti.org.za/">https://www.myciti.org.za</a>; and on the MyCiTi app. Commuters are welcome to call the Transport Information Centre (TIC) on 0800 65 64 63 for further information.
