Commuters travelling through Table View via the MyCiti can breathe a sigh of relief as the Grey MyCiti Station in Table View is set to reopen.
This after the station had been closed since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic allegedly due to cost-saving measures.
The City of Cape Town announced the opening last week and said this was based on the outcome of a management meeting which took place on Friday 8 April.
“It has been decided to open the Grey MyCiti Station,” the City’s Mayco member for urban mobility, Rob Quintas says.
“The transport operations team has been informed of the decision and the opening of the station has been prioritised.”
However the exact date of the opening is still unknown. The City says they will announce the date in due course.
The closure of the station had most commuters irate using the MyCiti bus service along the Blaauwberg Road route heading towards Dunoon, Table View and the Waterfront.
A resident Achmat Tassiem says he sees no reason why the station is still closed.
“Passengers have returned to work, students have returned to school and there has been no response from the municipality despite numerous requests to reopen the station,” he says.
This was recently reflected on a social media platform calling for the reopening of the Grey Station along Blaauwberg Road.
Tassiem told TygerBurger that the closure of the station has caused a tremendous amount of inconvenience especially for the residents of the nearby retirement village in Grey Avenue.
