Cape Town MyCiTi and Golden Arrow commuters avoid an immediate fare rise
IOL reported on 7 October that MyCiTi and Golden Arrow commuters would avoid an immediate fare rise after the diesel price jump, although Golden Arrow says further reviews may be needed. MyCiTi fares are tied to diesel thresholds that must be exceeded for two of three months. DailyDrop did not find a second report from this week.
Public transport costs are a large part of poorer households' budgets.
Fares stay for now. Check the operator's notices.
A hold, not a freeze. Watch for a review in November.
