City advice
Getting around
MyCiTi bus service
We have a MyCiTi bus stop just 30m down the road from our gate and a bus usually comes every 10mins or so. You can get cards from any of the stations or at PicknPay. I personally use it to get to class, but be warned you have to leave an extra half an hour early if you need to be somewhere.
