The City of Cape Town’s MyCiTi service will operate special late night bus rides for commuters from Hout Bay, Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha for those wanting to attend the switching on of the festive lights on Sunday, 27 November 2022. Read more below:
‘The switching on of the festive lights in Adderley Street in the Cape Town central business district is a spectacular occasion marking the beginning of the festive season.

We know this event is extremely popular, and will add late night buses for residents travelling from Hout Bay and the metro-south east,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
