The last major expansion to the\nsystem was launched in October 2018 with the introduction of new routes and\ndestinations as well as more direct routes with fewer transfers, and 29 new bus\nstops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the <a href=\"https:\/\/myciti.org.za\">MyCiTi<\/a> buses cover an average of 1,6 million kilometres per month on a number\nof routes, criss-crossing the city and surrounding areas.

The City of Cape Town and surrounds is exceedingly restrictive with\nregards to outdoor advertising and this is where the MyCiTi network offers a valuable\nopportunity to effectively target millions of consumers daily,\u201d say Naidu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advertising platforms on MyCiTi offer\nunprecedented opportunities for advertisers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advertising platforms offer uncluttered\nvisibility, impact and frequency with upwards of 3,5 million Capetonians seeing\nbus shelter and bus advertising every week. Since inception in 2010 to June\n2019, approximately 100 million passengers have used the MyCiTi network, with 80%\nof them making household purchasing decisions. On any weekday, close on 61,000\npeople in Cape Town make use of the network to commute to work, school and for\nleisure and other purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With advertising not only visible to these commuters\nbut also those who commute via road &#8211; be it on foot, by car, taxi, motorbike or\nbicycle, MyCiTi advertising offers a broad array of effective media platforms\nfor brand and messaging exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lion-test-sites.co.za\/transit-ads-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MyCiTi-Bus-Shelter_article.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lion-test-sites.co.za\/transit-ads-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MyCiTi-Bus-Shelter_article.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.lion-test-sites.co.za\/transit-ads-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MyCiTi-Bus-Shelter_article-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lion-test-sites.co.za\/transit-ads-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MyCiTi-Bus-Shelter_article-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lion-test-sites.co.za\/transit-ads-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MyCiTi-Bus-Shelter_article-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Integrated Rapid Transport Media (IRT), part of the Provantage Media Group (PMG) stable of companies, has once again successfully retained, the advertising rights to the MyCiTi infrastructure in the City of Cape Town.
