Bus driver strike over

The City of Cape Town would like to inform commuters that the illegal strike by some of the drivers employed by Kidrogen, a MyCiTi vehicle operating company (VOC), is over. The MyCiTi bus service will be fully operational as from this afternoon, 31 October 2014.

All of the drivers reported for the morning shift and it is expected that the full contingent will be arriving for the afternoon shift as well.

As such, the MyCiTi service along the T01 and T03 trunk routes between the Civic Centre station and Table View, Dunoon, Melkbosstrand, Atlantis and Century City will be operating as per normal during the afternoon peak hours. The buses operating on the T01 will no longer turn at the Wood station, but will be running up to the Usasaza station as per the normal routing.

Furthermore, the feeder services in Table View and Atlantis will also be returning to normal.

The City and Kidrogen are closely monitoring the situation and will duly inform commuters, should there be any changes to the MyCiTi schedule.

The City wants to thank residents for their patience and understanding during this illegal strike. Commuters can contact the Transport Information Centre 24/7 on 0800 65 64 63 for the latest information regarding the service, or follow @MyCiTibus on Twitter, or visit the facebook page ‘MyCiTi Integrated Rapid Transit System’.
