Construction, which began in May last year, is expected to be completed by mid-2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-codeta-praises-vuyani-public-transport-interchange-construction\">Codeta praises Vuyani Public Transport Interchange construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spokesperson for the Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta), <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/codeta-annual-prayer-service-khayelitsha\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"295378\">Makhosandile <\/a>Tumana<strong>,<\/strong> said they are pleased with the progress at the site, noting that everything is proceeding according to plan. He described the construction of the taxi rank as long overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are happy with the progress. We haven\u2019t heard any complaints from our members working there, which shows they don\u2019t have any problems. We can\u2019t wait to see it operating,\u201d Tumana said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Tumana expressed concern about traffic congestion on Spine Road, which has become busier due to the City\u2019s ongoing MyCiTi road construction. \u201cThis is not affecting only us but all motorists using Spine Road. It becomes chaotic, especially during peak hours,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-facilities-and-services-at-vuyani-pti\">Facilities and services at Vuyani PTI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 93 councillor Thando Pimpi said the Vuyani PTI will be the only taxi rank in Town Two and will include shelters for commuters and offices for administrative use. Pimpi added that there have been no problems since construction began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-city-officials-highlight-importance-of-vuyani-pti\">City officials highlight importance of Vuyani PTI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>City Mayco member for Urban Mobility, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capetown.gov.za\/mayoral-committee-members\/transport\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.capetown.gov.za\/mayoral-committee-members\/transport\">Rob Quintas<\/a>, emphasized that the completed facility will provide dedicated spaces for minibus-taxi operators and serve commuters traveling to Mfuleni, Eerste River, Blackheath, Kuils River, and Lwandle, enhancing connectivity and convenience for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe construction of the Vuyani PTI is an important investment in improved infrastructure and safer, more accessible public transport for our community. I am very pleased with the progress and quality of work to date. Once complete, the facility will include covered waiting areas, safe loading lanes, improved lighting, ablution facilities, and an administration building,\u201d Quintas said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that commuters will soon be able to access minibus taxis, the MyCiTi Bus Service, and Golden Arrow buses from one convenient location, marking another step toward keeping Cape Town moving safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Khayelitsha Taxi Association endorses the Vuyani Public
