Train service is available to take you to the outlying towns and to False bay, but travelling on local trains isn’t really recommended as there are problems with cleanliness and safety. To enjoy the Cape area best, you’ll want to hire a car. Traffic isn’t particularly heavy, roads are well-signposted and parking is quite easy to find. Train: Cape Town’s commuter rail line, Metrorail, provides scheduled service that connects the city centre with the suburbs to the north, including the Cape Flats townships, the southern suburbs and False Bay, and also several of the towns in the Winelands. You are advised, however, that the service isn’t very reliable and the trains are not kept clean or safe. Golden Arrow operates the Cape Town public bus system, over a comprehensive network, from its Golden Acre terminal on the Grand Parade. The service operates until late at night, but routes can be a bit confusing and safety can be a concern after dark. Taxi: in Cape Town have to be called for ahead of time, and can be expensive. They are, however, the safest means of transportation you can use after dark. ‘Rikkis’, three-wheeled taxis that follow continuous-loop routes, pick up and drop off passengers along the way, and are much less expensive. | |
