Cape Town - A 15-year transport plan that will see ratepayers forking out millions of rand each year to roll out the next phase of the MyCiTi bus service was adopted by council. It also proposes the scrapping of unprofitable routes and allowing “other transport” to use the dedicated MyCiTi lanes.
The City in the plan document projected that the rates contributions for 2020/21 would be R410.7 million, R435.4m for 2021/22, R461.5m for 2022/23 and a 6% increase per annum after that in the rates base is anticipated. The total operations and capital expenditure for Phase 2A amounts to R17billion over the next 15 years.
“Property owners are already experiencing hardship and they will face another blow. We all know the unemployment rate is increasing, we are not sure when this Covid-19 will last and if things will pick up.Former Mayco member for transport and urban development, now Good secretary-general, Brett Herron said the report to council reflects a government in disarray.
“This is really unacceptable since at one point we were performing so well that we got additional funding that had been cut from other non-performing cities,” he said.
