Return CPT Trams 2035

@MyCiTiBus is our step sister. Removed in 1935 by questionable activities. To bring back trams by 2035. By @young_urbanists & not by @cityofct 🦓🚈

Maybe this this will be the case sometime in the future…🚋

Orange Street in the future, hopefully ���

(yes this is AI, and no it is not real YET)

Now imagine…🚋

[LJ @tacticallyurban]

Not a bad view to wait for the bus. Frequency is even better. Peak hour = every 5 mins. Off peak (including weekends) = every 10 mins.

Soon this won’t be an April Fools!

[ROLAND @rolandpostma]

This is not development. Rather the opposite.

Public transportation is development and progress. We are not in the 1960’s.

Soon you can do this with 🚋 #bringbackthetrams

@tacticallyurban @MyCiTiBus @young_urbanists @CapeTownTrams Cape Town did have trams - one would need to look at history why it was discontinued & what would make them work today?

[cole de villiers @cole_dVc]

@CapeTownTrams @StellMun to reduce the amount of cars - and increase the NMT infrastructure please. It’s really not safe for pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooters to use the streets.

We had trams before and we will have them again!

Thank god we reintroduced trams in the mother city – a future a Cape Town proverb 🦓🚃

[Jodi Allemeier 🌇 @urbanjodi]

I’m in traffic - a Cape Town proverb

[Return CPT Trams 2035 @CapeTownTrams]

1. We need to return trams to the @CityofCT.

2. The city is sadly not looking at feasibility study.

3. We really need to re-introduce trams but also need to link Belville to @StellMun and more.

Will Foreshore, Cape Town’s unfinished freeway finally be complete?😲👏

It looks like the City of Cape Town is working towards finally finishing this unfinished freeway - but it’s not what you think…

For four decades, progress was stalled because the provincial authorities maintained a road reserve along Buitengracht Street for the incomplete Foreshore freeway—a restriction that was finally lifted in 2023.

The City of Cape Town is currently conducting a feasibility study to determine whether an elevated railway🚆 could be built here as an alternative to finishing a long-delayed freeway.

The planned 6-kilometer rail route would connect Woodstock Station to Sea Point. The trip would take less than 10 minutes, including stops, and trains would travel at an average speed of 60 to 70 kilometers per hour.

Depending on the city’s future transportation vision, several possibilities are under consideration:

🟡 Installing a single railway track with room to upgrade to a dual-track system on one of the incomplete freeway sections.
🟡 Laying a single track on each of the two unfinished freeway segments—one for each direction.
🟡 Using one incomplete freeway for the rail line while finishing the other as a roadway for vehicles.

With Cape Town feeling the crunch when it comes to traffic, I think a focus on elevating our current public transport systems is a smart move. The past few occasions where I have driven into the city, traffic has begun way before the infamous bottle-neck at the CTICC. More recently, it’s been the worst traffic I have ever experienced - no matter what time of day. Especially on a Friday.

More new developments in Cape Town and surrounds as well as security estates mushrooming throughout the Winelands region - means more cars. The pressure is on to get public transport to a safe and reliable standard.

Take a look at my original tweet below to see the real reason as to why the freeway bridge remains unfinished.

[Return CPT Trams 2035 @CapeTownTrams]

We are working on it.

[costa @costakonti1]

@askash We need a train/monorail what ever one calls it from SW into the CBD and the same from Northern Suburbs straight into the CBD this would reduce traffick a lot!

Grateful to @young_urbanists and @rmaseko for making this happen!

[LJ @tacticallyurban]

Google Maps Transit now has @MetrorailWC routes! This is a huge step forward for integrated public transport route planning for travellers!
For example, I can use Google Maps to plan a trip from Sea Point to Claremont with @MetrorailWC and @MyCiTiBus 🚍 🚊
