Cape Town's MyCiTi system will include an integrated network of bus rapid transit, pedestrian pathways, and bicycle lanes to provide an alternative to increased car use. The system will have trunk services running on dedicated lanes connecting major areas, and feeder services in mixed traffic connecting to trunk stations. Stations will provide shelter, ticketing, and security monitoring. Fares will be comparable to existing bus fares and allow transfers between routes using electronic smart cards. The system aims to transform the public transportation industry and provide more sustainable transportation options for Cape Town.

Editor's Notes
- The Government has promised the red, orange, dark and light blue blocks. The City will compensate ALL current operators affected by Phase 1A. There will also be a vehicle scrapping allowance. The operator can chose to take compensation and leave the industry (use the money to start up another business), or use the compensation money to buy shares in the IRT or use some of the compensation to buy some shares and exit the industry. The large operators (probably very entrepreneurial people) will not make us much profit with the IRT and will (hopefully) take the compensation and leave the business. As the profits are 80% less than current profits - The Business model relies on people taking the compensation and leaving the industry. The smaller operators, may make more than they currently are, and not have skills other than in mini-bus taxis, they may use
