Hout Bay MyCiti and Dial-a-Ride resume Wednesday


On Monday, roughly 50 protestors rushed to the streets, burning tires, stoning buses and private vehicles, and bombing one MyCiti bus with gasoline. One of HBTA’s complaints is that the City of Cape Town promised them compensation when the MyCiti bus service was established in the area many years ago, but no money has been given to date.

On Tuesday, the parties met to address the association’s complaints and choose a way forward. The City discussed several issues with HBTA, including the renewal of operating permits, and pledged assistance to the organization.

Wednesday will see the reintroduction of the City’s transportation services to Hout Bay, under the watchful eye of the South African Police Service and provincial Law Enforcement.

Rob Quintas, a member of the City of Cape Town’s MayCo for Urban Mobility, stated that the association does not want the MyCiti service to operate in the region and wants it terminated at Llandudno.

These are unreasonable requests of the City. It cannot be considered since it contradicts what I have always advocated as a member of the Urban Mobility Mayco, namely that Capetonians should have a variety of options for public transportation.

According to Quintas, there is no ban on Amaphela or minibus taxis in Hout Bay, and all legal and authorized taxis are permitted to operate in the area.

The compensation sought by HBTA relates to the first phase of the MyCiti service implementation. After dragging the City to court, the matter is currently pending before the Cape Town High Court. The next court date is anticipated for July 31, 2023.

  1. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial.
