The City of Cape Town will commence with the conversion of 77 temporary MyCiTi bus stops into permanent structures across the footprint, following a successful public participation process.

The temporary stops allow planners to test and confirm the safest, most convenient location for each stop before a permanent structure is built.

As a result, some permanent bus stops will be built a few meters from their original locations to comply with road safety requirements, maintain design consistency and address space limitations.

Features of permanent bus stops

• Branded MyCiTi totem poles with lighting for improved visibility
• Leaning rails for passenger comfort
• Bus service information
• Universal access measures including tactile paving and wheelchair-accessible ramps
• Shelters with seating at high-traffic stops

Construction timeline

Work is scheduled to start in Atlantis in March 2025 and continue in phases until July 2026.
