MyCiTi is a bus rapid transit service in Cape Town, South Africa. It serves as a major part of the city's overall public transit system.
Operating with feeders, it forms part of a greater Integrated Public Transport-driven economic development strategy of the City of Cape Town (CoCT) Metropolitan Municipality, situated in the Western Cape province.
The system has a fleet of 223 electric and diesel buses, operating between 42 stations, and almost 1,000 stops throughout Cape Town.
The MyCiTi fleet consists of a combination of 9-meter air-conditioned Optare Solo low-floor buses (for City Bowl feeder routes), 12-meter Volvo BZRLE low-floor and Scania high-floor buses, and 18-meter Scania low-floor articulated buses. They can transport 48, 84, 94, and 116 passengers respectively. Buses are assembled locally, by Busmark 2000, a bus body manufacturer in Epping, Cape Town.
Stations feature free Wi-Fi, enclosed waiting areas, and off-grid power. MyCiTi buses travel on dedicated, red bus lanes with their own traffic signals, as well as on traditional road networks at times.
Infrastructure is planned to be developed in 4 phases. It is actively being rolled out across Cape Town, with Phase 1A, 1B, and the N2 corridor complete, and Phase 2A underway.
Headway of services (i.e., the time between buses on the same route) ranges from 3 minutes to 20 minutes during peak times. It can be up to 60 minutes during quiet, off-peak periods. 73% of MyCiTi buses are punctual within a window of two minutes early to five minutes late.
