The Full Story
The City of Cape Town is upgrading six temporary MyCiTi bus stops into permanent facilities, with construction expected to continue until November 2026.
The project forms part of the City’s ongoing efforts to improve public transport infrastructure by replacing temporary stops with permanent structures after confirming the safest and most practical locations through public consultation.
Six MyCiTi bus stops set for an upgrade
The upgrades will affect two MyCiTi bus stops along Victoria Road in Hout Bay and four along Albert Road in Woodstock.
During construction, these temporary stops will be relocated to nearby positions along Hout Bay Main Road, close to the Imizamo Yethu community.
Unlike Hout Bay, the existing temporary bus stops in Woodstock will remain operational while the permanent facilities are built.
The new permanent bus stops will include several improvements aimed at making public transport more accessible, comfortable and safer.
Some of the permanent stops will be built a few metres from their current locations to meet road safety requirements and accommodate available space.
The City said MyCiTi services will continue operating throughout the construction period, although commuters may experience minor delays.
In Woodstock, temporary lane closures may be introduced along Albert Road while work is underway, and some parking bays near the affected bus stops will be temporarily unavailable.
Passengers are encouraged to plan ahead and use the MyCiTi app for the latest service updates and bus arrival times.
