#public transport

Hout Bay activist Roscoe Jacobs has raised concerns about the City of Cape Town's proposed 50% fare increase for the MyCiTi bus service, stating it could significantly affect working-class commuters. A petition is currently gaining support in the community, aiming to secure affordable public transport options.

The Matatu Owners Association (MOA) has confirmed that public transport services will operate normally during the June 25 protests, marking the first anniversary of the June 2024 anti-Finance Bill demonstrations. MOA Chairperson Albert Karakacha stated that the sector is dedicated to serving the public while upholding constitutional rights and ensuring safety during the planned protests.
