Cape Town - The month-long strike by MyCiTi bus drivers ended on Friday, the City of Cape Town said in a statement.

The City confirmed that Transpeninsula Investments, which employs the drivers, and the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union had resolved their differences.

“We are relieved,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Brett Herron.

“I also want to thank our commuters for their patience and understanding. We will do everything in our power to ensure that the MyCiTi service operates on schedule on the inner-city routes as soon as possible.”

The City expects the MyCiTi service to operate normally on all routes from Monday March 9, when all of the drivers will return to work.

The City urged passengers to contact the Transport Information Centre at all hours on 0800 65 64 63 for the latest information regarding the MyCiTi service.

Passengers were also asked to make use of social media by following @MyCiTibus on Twitter or visiting the MyCiTi facebook page, ‘MyCiTi Integrated Rapid Transit System’.
