Capetrain Express

Designing the future of urban mobility in Cape Town. An efficient express rail network to connect people, places, and opportunity. #CapetrainX 🇿🇦

The Capetrain Express Project aims to address the enduring spatial inequalities created by apartheid-era spatial planning by improving access to opportunities irrespective of location. #CapetrainX

The proposed Capetrain Express Sea Point Station on the Three Anchor Bay development site offers the opportunity for an integrated mixed-use development that can deliver world-class mass-transit connectivity for the entire Atlantic Seaboard.

With development on the Atlantic Seaboard reaching unprecedented levels, and the road network already at full capacity, the necessity for multi-modal transport-oriented development could not be more urgent. #CapetrainX

The Tyger Valley Station represents what that future could look like: a metropolitan railway gateway linking the northern suburbs directly to the city, its airports and the wider region. #CapetrainX

[Capetrain Express @CapetrainX]

A new underground Capetrain Express Tyger Valley Station, positioned alongside Tyger Valley Mall, would place one of Cape Town’s most important northern metropolitan nodes directly onto a high-capacity express rail network. #CapetrainX

[Capetrain Express @CapetrainX]

Including minibus taxis, e-hailing, walking and cycling connections.

The benefits of this station would extend well beyond just transport. At the envisaged scale it would strengthen Tyger Valley as a major metropolitan business, retail and residential node. #CapetrainX

[Capetrain Express @CapetrainX]

The result: a truly integrated transportation ecosystem that improves mobility, strengthens the local economy and expands opportunity.

Infrastructure should not simply move people. It should change lives.

The proposed Capetrain Express interchange in Philippi has the potential to deliver meaningful social impact. #CapetrainX

A modern, integrated minibus-taxi rank within the station precinct would ensure that the Capetrain Express compliments existing commuter services, partnering with taxi operators to improve efficiency, connectivity and commercial sustainability. #CapetrainX

[Capetrain Express @CapetrainX]

Supporting new housing, commercial activity, community facilities and sporting infrastructure, while sensitively preserving and repurposing the power station’s iconic industrial heritage for future generations. #CapetrainX 🇿🇦

The decommissioned Athlone Power Station occupies a strategically located 40-hectare precinct at the heart of the Cape Flats, surrounded by some of Cape Town’s most densely populated communities. #CapetrainX

[Capetrain Express @CapetrainX]

By integrating a Capetrain Express Station interchange with a re-aligned Metrorail corridor, the precinct could be transformed into a vibrant mobility hub. #CapetrainX
