Cape Town's MyCiti passenger numbers are growing, with the airport shuttle figures for July higher than during the World Cup last year.
Mayoral committee member for transport, roads and stormwater Brett Herron gave the mayoral committee a progress report on the Integrated Rapid Transit system for the month of July, including the planned introduction of an express service in the Metro South East, which includes Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain, and the improved figures.
He said the improved airport MyCiTi figures were partly the result of better communication, marketing, education and value for money. The monthly total for the airport shuttle bus for July is 236 406 passenger trips.
The progress report also noted that the interim service, or "Milestone 0", which includes the trunk service between the city and Table View as well as feeder services in the Blaauwberg, Table View and CBD/City Bowl areas, continued to operate successfully.
A key focus was feedback from the general public.
"Each complaint received through either the transport information centre, media office, Twitter, Facebook or the mayor's offices are dealt with through personalised responses from the operation team," the report said.
The City of Cape Town is to introduce dedicated law enforcement officials to patrol the buses along the different routes.
The interim team had issued 409 fines for a range of offences to the value of R144 700 in July.
