The City of Cape Town is suspending its MyCiTi Airport Service from today (December 1).

Unfortunately, the demand for the service has not recovered since the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. Therefore, the city has decided to redeploy the fleet to higher-demand routes, such as those connecting Atlantis with Table View, Century City and the Cape Town central business district.

The 50,5% increase in the diesel price from January 5-November 2 has also been a contributing factor.

“It is regrettable and unfortunate that we have to suspend the airport service, but the city, being a responsible and prudent administration, is obliged to allocate resources where they are much needed and in high demand. The provision of additional buses to high-demand areas will improve the day-to-day lives of regular commuters who have a great need for the MyCiTi service,” says Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

“That said, we will investigate more cost-effective and innovative solutions to resume the service in the future,” he adds.
