GETTING YOUR CARD

USER’S GUIDE 2019 | 04

MyCiTi uses a card-based payment system. Everyone needs their own myconnect card except children under the age of four.

Get your myconnect card for only R35 from MyCiTi station kiosks and participating retailers (see www.myciti.org.za for a list).

Your card is a bank card so you’ll need to choose a PIN you can remember. Also remember to keep your card receipt safe in case something happens to it.

TIP

1

LOADINGVALUE

Once you get your card you’ll need to load value on it to pay for your fares. You can load any amount as Standard or load a Mover package and pay for the distance you travel.

If you travel regularly over long distances you may save with a Monthly Pass for R850 while occasional users and visitors can enjoy unlimited travel on as many routes as they wish for 1, 3 or 7 days from only R75.

Most passengers save by loading Mover points and by travelling outside the weekday peak fare periods of 06:45 – 08:00 and 16:15 – 17:30.

TAPPING IN, TAPPING OUT

To use MyCiTi, you need to tap in and tap out to pay your fares and avoid penalties.

When you enter a station or board a bus at a stop, tap in by holding your card against the validator. When you leave a station or exit a bus at a stop, tap out by doing the same. If you don’t tap in and tap out correctly, a penalty will be charged to your card.

If you transfer from one bus to another at a station you don’t have to tap out, only tap out when you reach your destination.

TOPPING UPYOUR CARD

Ensure you always have value on your card by topping up at any station kiosk or participating retailer.

You can check your balance at kiosks and info terminals at stations, and on the validator whenever you tap in and tap out.

The validator will shine green if there’s enough value, yellow if you’re running low and red if there is insufficient value to travel.
