The MyCiti bus service is part of a greater Integrated Public Transport driven economic development strategy of the City of Cape Town Municipality (CoCT). MyCiTi is a bus rapid transit system currently being rolled out across Cape Town, South Africa. Providing an express bus connection between Table View, Milnerton, Atlantis, Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain and central Cape Town, as well as several feeder services. == Overview == MyCiTi began operations in May 2010, shortly before the 2010 FIFA World Cup, providing a shuttle service from the Civic Centre (where a new bus terminus was constructed) to Cape Town International Airport. It also included a temporary loop around the City Bowl for the duration of the World Cup. The first proper Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) phase (Phase 1A) opened in May 2011. It includes a dedicated West Coast busway from the city centre through Milnerton to Table View, along which an express bus service operates. Connecting to this trunk route is a route in the City Bowl connecting Gardens, the Civic Centre bus station and the Waterfront, as well as three feeder services around Table View, Bloubergstrand and Parklands. Major expansion of services occurred from late 2013. They include new routes around Table View and Parklands and links to: Century City via Racecourse Road and Omuramba roads; Montague Gardens along Koeberg Road; Killarney, Dunoon and Doornbach via Blaauwberg Road; Sunningdale and Sandown stations on the West Coast Road; Melkbosstrand; Atlantis, Mamre and Pella. The MyCiTi bus service has also been extended to Cape Town's south-east, to Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain, called the N2 Express. It uses Bus and Minibus-taxi (BMT) lane on the N2 highway, to increase volumes and usage of those lanes. The service aims to provide comfortable, convenient, reliable, safe, efficient, car-competitive public transport in Cape Town. The City of Cape Town has built upon the MyCiTi service, and expanded it to form Transport for Cape Town (TCT), its transport authority. TCT aims to implement the "vision of one" in which a single integrated ticketing system and timetable will be implemented for bus and rail (PRASA) transport. 〔 Approximately 55,000 daily trips were made on the MyCiTi service by mid-2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MyCiTi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
