Justin Bieber concert-goers will need to make alternate transport arrangements as MyCiTi buses will not run to Cape Town Stadium.
|||Cape Town - Justin Bieber may have a smooth travel itinerary for Cape Town when he lands in the city on Tuesday.
But those hoping to make use of the MyCiTi bus service to and from the Cape Town Stadium for his concert on Wednesday night will have to make use of alternate transport.
The City of Cape Town’s Kylie Hatton said they have had to alter their transportation plan to the stadium as a result of the bus strike.
“Unfortunately, the transport plan has had to be amended to take into consideration the ongoing national strike, which means that no MyCiTi service will be operating for the event.”
The city had planned to have a temporary bus service to the stadium but changed plans as vehicle operating companies expressed an unwillingness to operate under the “current conditions”.
On Monday morning the city told the Cape Argus that the Table View MyCiTi buses would be available for concertgoers and the newspaper published a front page article saying as much.
But the operating companies later informed the city about its unwillingness to have buses in operation.
* Details of the amended transport plan are available on the city’s website www.capetown.gov.za or on the transport information centre at 0800 656 463.
