Finally ......................My Citi

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Tuesday, May 27, 2014, In : Out and about

So glad to receive the news that extra buses are now going to be added to the route.

“The first deployment, comprising nine 12-metre buses, will be on the popular T01 route (Dunoon, Table View, Civic Centre) and the recently launched T03 route (Atlantis, Table View, Civic Centre) and will unquestionably improve commuters’ experience of the MyCiTi service.

I have no doubt the extra buses will make the journey a more pleasant one.

Now what can be done about doors not working and doors closing ...

What if I was a tourist on a My-Citi bus ......

Well if you were a tourist on the My-Citi bus this past week, on the Table View to Civic Centre Route :-

The doors would not work because of the power failure. You could not swipe your card either.

Even if the power was on, you would not know when the next bus was scheduled because the Timetable that should show the bus times – is not accurate – it says bus in station and there is no bus ? Perhaps this is the schedule for the Phantom buses?

The bus would arrive from Table View side about...

Intercape Bus Services

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Wednesday, October 16, 2013, In : Business's

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Intercape Bus services while arranging bookings between Cape Town and Upington recently.

I would like to compliment them on their reasonably priced tickets and their very efficient service.

I simply email them my requirements, they answer immediately and give all instructions – details and information required in an easy to understand – direct and clear format.

I have had to book tickets at the last minute, I have had to change bookings and every singl...

Calm down My-Citi

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Tuesday, August 27, 2013, In : Out and about

I have recently noticed the bus drivers are very impatient, and pull away before people can

embark or dis-embark. I have seen more than one person nearly getting squashed in the doors.

Some stations only have one security person on duty.

On many occasions the station door or the bus door does not open, by the time you have

rushed to the next door, the bus is pulling away.

Surely this is a first-world invention ?? The doors should have a sensor – so that if anyone

is standing by a door – t...

My citi Bus - incident

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Tuesday, July 16, 2013, In : Out and about

Last week I witnessed a paraplegic man trying to get off the my citi-bus at Wood-bridge Station.

There was only 1 person on duty and they checked both doors from where they were standing

Which was at the entrance of the station. They shouted “Clear” but because the wheelchair

Cannot be seen from there (nor would a small child be seen), the driver started closing the door.

The passengers in the My Citi started shouting and jumped up to stop the man being caught in

Doors.

I really don’t th...

My Citi Bus's

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Monday, February 11, 2013, In : Out and about

When travelling on the my citi, I, for the first time in a long time, was impressed with the progress we

are making in this country.

The buses are running frequently enough, they are clean and in good condition.

Most of the staff at the stations are friendly and are well informed.

The added bonuses, as compared to catching the normal buses, is that you have a well-lit,

Secure and warm place to wait out of the wind and rain. You know the bus will be along

shortly, and it does not drive past leavin...

The bus ride Experience

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Tuesday, November 15, 2011, In : Out and about

Why do they have bus shelters that have closed sides at the Golden Arrow Bus stops ????
I understand that it is an ideal place to advertise that juicy burger,
But the purpose of a bus shelter is to give the passengers waiting shelter from the wind and the rain and of course the sun.
If you stand inside the this type of bus shelter – you are sheltered, but the bus drives past
Because you are not able to see it approaching.

So the decision was made to stand outside the bus shelter and forget abou...
