Cape Town is currently undergoing an exciting transformation in its urban mobility landscape, with the Urban Mobility Budget serving as a driving force for a more connected and thriving metropolis. Spearheaded by the Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas, the City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Budget has been tabled for 2023/2024 to 2025/2026. This budget aims to enhance the city’s infrastructure by focusing on essential elements such as maintenance, congestion relief, public transport, and smart mobility.
Cape Town faces significant traffic congestion, which frustrates daily commuters. In response to this challenge, the City’s Urban Mobility Directorate has introduced an innovative solution: the Automatic Congestion Information Display (ACID) sign. This system is designed to provide realtime information to commuters travelling towards the southern suburbs of Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, St James, Noordhoek, and Kommetjie.
The Mfuleni Public Transport Interchange (PTI) in the City of Cape Town has been operating beyond its capacity, resulting in a lessthanoptimal experience for the thousands of people who use it daily. To improve the situation, the City of Cape Town has proposed upgrades to the PTI that have been welcomed by commuters and operators alike.
