Upper Mountain EXPLORING THE CITY

MyCiTi, Cape Town’s scheduled, reliable bus service is the perfect way to explore the heart of the city without worrying about trafﬁ c and ﬁ nding somewhere to park.

Get your myconnect card Every passenger aged 4 years and over needs their own card. Get yours from a MyCiTi station kiosk for R30. There are three in the city centre – Thibault Square, Adderley Street and Civic Centre.

Load money for travel You can choose to load money as Standard, and use it for small purchases at retailers, or save 30% by loading Mover points. You also save more by avoiding the busy peak periods on weekdays when higher fares are charged.

Tap in and out Fares are charged according to the distance you travel. Tap in at a station entrance or on a bus and again when you leave the bus at a stop or exit via a station. The correct fare will be automatically deducted.

Need help? Call our 24-hour Transport Information Centre on 0800 65 64 63 for assistance with routes, schedules and fares, and connections to other public transport modes.
