The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas, together with senior officials from the Transport Infrastructure Implementation team, recently visited the new Vuyani Public Transport Interchange (PTI), which is currently under construction. Once complete, the PTI will provide dedicated facilities for minibus-taxi operators and serve commuters travelling to Mfuleni, Eerste River, Blackheath, Kuils River and Lwandle, improving connectivity and convenience for the community.

“The construction of the Vuyani Public Transport Interchange (PTI) is an important investment in improved infrastructure and safer, more accessible public transport for our community. I am very pleased with the progress and quality of work to date. Once complete, the facility will include covered waiting areas, safe loading lanes, improved lighting, ablution facilities and an administration building. Commuters will soon be able to access minibus taxis, the MyCiTi Bus Service and Golden Arrow buses from one convenient location. This is another step towards keeping Cape Town moving safely and efficiently,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The Vuyani PTI is located at the corner of Spine Road and Jeff Masemola Road in Khayelitsha, adjacent to the existing Vuyani meat market.
A MyCiTi stop is planned just 200 metres away, at Spine Road and Govan Mbeki Road, putting multiple transport options within easy walking distance.
‘This new PTI forms part of our broader plans to roll out the next phase of the MyCiTi service to the metro south-east, strengthening connections between Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha, and key destinations, such as Claremont and Wynberg. Our priority remains clear: To improve communities’ access to safe, dignified and affordable public transport. This investment brings us closer to that goal,’ said Councillor Quintas.
