This is one of our main public transport options. It crisscrosses the Southern Suburbs in particular, while coastal neighbourhoods south and west of the<a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/neighbourhood-guide\/city-center-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> City Center<\/a> have no train routes.<\/p>\n<p>The trains are super cheap (around R10 \u2013 R20 for a ticket). They can be a really interesting way to experience the city, allowing you to peer out as you pass non-touristy neighbourhoods. The train to the<a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/neighbourhood-guide\/kalk-bay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> coastal village of Kalk Bay<\/a> is my favourite!<\/p>\n<p>The trains are also genuinely helpful for those of us with daily commutes \u2013 just be prepared to wait. They have schedules (which you can <a href=\"https:\/\/cttrains.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check here<\/a>) but often don&#8217;t stick to them.<\/p>\n<h3>Safety tips for Cape Town\u2019s trains<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2659 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/new-trains-in-cape-town.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/new-trains-in-cape-town.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/new-trains-in-cape-town-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/new-trains-in-cape-town-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/new-trains-in-cape-town-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>One of the new and updated Cape Town trains, looking slick<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The trains can be quite unsafe, particularly if you look like an easy target. So here are my top tips for using them safely!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Be sure to catch the train before 6 pm, as it gets significantly more dangerous in the evening \u2013 if it\u2019s going to get dark during your trip, rather fork out for an Uber<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You should also always find a carriage that\u2019s reasonably full \u2013 to this purpose, it\u2019s better to buy a third-class ticket rather than a first-class one. You might not get a seat if it\u2019s rush hour, but far more people sit in the cheaper carriages, making them a lot safer.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You should also be aware that the trains are usually late, and while most of the time I\u2019ve only had to wait an extra ten minutes, there are times when I\u2019ve sat for up to two hours! So try to sit and wait next to a few people, not in an isolated area.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Look comfortable \u2013 troublemakers watch for easy targets, and someone sticking out like a nervous sore thumb will draw attention quickly<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Keep your bags closed \u2013 if you have anything very visible and you\u2019re not paying attention, you\u2019re likely to lose it<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If someone is behaving threateningly, be loud and noticeable \u2013 someone will almost definitely come to your aid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All this said, I\u2019ve taken trains with my laptop, phone and camera, and had no trouble. These safety tips might sound a bit daunting, but don\u2019t let them stop you from trying it! And a little disclaimer &#8212; the trains are being slowly replaced with new and improved ones, so safety concerns will hopefully drop at the same time.<\/p>\n<h2>Minibus taxis<\/h2>\n<p>Minibus taxis are another popular form of public transport among locals. I\u2019ve taken plenty of these, and even done multiple taxi rides from my childhood<a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/western-cape-towns\/oudtshoorn\/\"> hometown of Oudtshoorn<\/a>, 420km away. They go everywhere!<\/p>\n<p>You can catch a taxi from one of the taxi ranks, or just stand on a main road anywhere in the city and stick your arm out a bit when you see one. They\u2019ll stop for you if they\u2019re not already packed.<\/p>\n<p>The minibus taxis are also not the safest, particularly as they\u2019re risky drivers, stopping wherever clientele can be picked up, and largely ignoring the rules of the road. Talk to any driver in Cape Town, and they\u2019ll be happy to have a proper rant about our taxis! However, they\u2019re cheap, quite fast, and another interesting experience. I\u2019ve always enjoyed and appreciated them a lot, so I certainly wouldn\u2019t advise against them \u2013 you just have to be a bit cautious.<\/p>\n<h3>Safety tips for Cape Town\u2019s minibus taxis<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Always get in one that\u2019s pretty full \u2013 it\u2019s unsafe to get into a near-empty car, and if it isn\u2019t a risk, you\u2019ll still have a much longer trip on your hands, as the driver will usually stop till he has enough passengers to make the trip worthwhile.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">It\u2019s also important that you don\u2019t catch a taxi in the evening \u2013 I\u2019ve been told that by a taxi driver, actually!<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Be particularly careful if you have to get in or out at an actual taxi rank. I\u2019ve had my phone stolen twice at two different taxi ranks. So learn from my mistakes, and if using a bag, keep your valuables in the most secure pocket, preferably under a few un-valuables.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Have cash easily available \u2013 taxis are all cash-only, so you don\u2019t want to be fumbling about for change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>MyCiti busses<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1673 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mycitibus2.jpg\" alt=\"MyCiti bus Cape Town\" width=\"800\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mycitibus2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mycitibus2-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mycitibus2-768x521.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myciti.org.za\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> MyCiti busses<\/a> are Cape Town\u2019s most trustworthy transport system. They\u2019re safe \u2013 including their stations (although not so much the unenclosed stops). And while they, unfortunately, don\u2019t cover the Southern suburbs, they crisscross just about every other neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p>While both the taxis and the trains just take cash, the busses work on a card that you top up at one of the proper stations, and then each trip you take draws from this amount. You scan your card upon entrance and exit. Because of this system, you can\u2019t just stand at one of the streetside stops and pay when you get on \u2013 you need a card first. If you\u2019re spending a week or more in Cape Town without a car, I\u2019d recommend getting one. The card itself costs R50, and the trips usually cost between R10 and R30.<\/p>\n<p>The MCiti system even goes to the airport! So if you have the energy for a slower trip to your accommodation, you can buy a card and take the bus right when you get off the plane. I\u2019ve done this once, and it was actually really smooth.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll likely need to take more than one bus depending on the length and route of your trip, but their website is user-friendly, and if you enter your location and your destination, it\u2019ll tell you which busses you need to take.<\/p>\n<h2>Golden Arrow Bus Service<\/h2>\n<p>This is Cape Town&#8217;s one public transport system I haven&#8217;t actually experienced myself &#8212; but I hear good things! The service has been running for over <em>160<\/em> years now, and criss-crosses much of the metropolitan area and its outskirts. You can purchase single trip tickets, or go for monthly or 10-ride clipcards which are then clipped every trip. It&#8217;s a great transport option, but for locals who know the city; you&#8217;ll understand why if you check out their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gabs.co.za\/Timetable.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">timetables<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Taking public transport in Cape Town<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s super doable to visit or live in Cape Town without a car \u2013 you just have to make a few adjustments. I\u2019ve pulled it off for seven years now, so you\u2019ll manage for sure!<\/p>\n<p>I do, however, recommend using the public transport systems only during the day. A ride-share app like Uber is your best option to take you home after a night out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have a number of public transport options in Cape Town, and all are cheap and easy to use.
