Fares are adjusted at the start of every financial year (starting on 1 July) in response to the latest cost projections, including the price of diesel.

MyCiTi fares are reviewed annually as part of the City of Cape Town’s budget. The proposed budget, including the proposed new MyCiTi fares, is currently open for public comment.

Passengers and members of the public are encouraged to comment on the MyCiTi fares proposed for the 2023/24 financial year.

Below is a summary of the relevant MyCiTi tariffs proposed to take effect from 1 July 2023, and is based on a cost of R22.01 per litre of diesel. Provision has been made in the proposed budget for increase / decrease of fares in response to the fluctuation in diesel price.

The annual, council-approved tariffs also allow for fares to be increased or decreased during the financial year where there are significant and sustained fuel price changes. The proposed tariffs therefore include different sets or levels of fares that apply for specific increases and decreases to the price of diesel. This protects passengers from paying too much when the fuel price decreases significantly and protects the City from ongoing losses if the price of diesel increases substantially.
