The public transport system in Cape Town

One of the scariest parts of travelling to another city, especially one as highly populated as Cape Town, is figuring out how to get around. Transport is something we all tend to take for granted every day, and the moment we find ourselves away from our own transport systems, we feel useless and agitated. Having to rely on others for lifts to and from destinations is not always a good idea, as schedules can often clash, causing great inconvenience. Fear not. We have put together a list of transportation options in the Mother City, all in the hope of making the prospect of visiting a new place a little easier to deal with.

The public transport system in Cape Town is probably one of the best in the country. Cabs, minibuses, trains and buses run regularly throughout the city, reaching most areas.  Public transport plays an invaluable part of the city’s day to day workings, ensuring that almost four million people are able to get to work, school, or any other activities that they may need to partake in on a regular basis. The system is designed to make getting around Cape Town as easy, hassle-fee and as cost effective as possible.

Train lines run to all suburban areas, and extend as far as the Winelands, an area just outside of the city, while minibus taxis can be hailed from almost anywhere at any time of the day. Cabs can often be seen lined along the streets of the most popular tourist sites in the city. Alternatively, contact numbers for cab companies are readily available from most hotels, hostels, bars and shops. For a scenic route around Cape Town, busses are accessible from the stops stationed frequently along big roads in each area. The MyCiti Bus initiative, a rapid transport option, has just been launched in the CBD as well, making it possible for commuters to get to and from the city centre and the airport, as well as a number of other areas within the city. Over the next few years, the MyCiti bus route will be extended to cover the whole of Cape Town.

For those who prefer to drive themselves around, services such as Cape Town airport car hire are available as well. If a roadtrip is on the cards, it is possible to drive the hired car from the Western Cape to the Johannesburg airport car hire and then fly back to avoid driving the considerably long route twice.

Whatever preference visitors to Cape Town have, there is an appropriate transport solution for whichever activity needs to be completed.

Insurance Equals Peace Of Mind

Insurance is an important part of the new world we are currently living in. With the inevitable dangers
of day to day life it is now conventional wisdom that it is far better to pay a smaller price on a month to month basis than be suprized by a huge amount that is completely un-affordable. This could, at the end of the day, drive you bankrupt after all. Car insurance for all motor coverage, life insurance to assure your family is secure in your absence and a hospital plan in case of emergency. These all add up to piece of mind. I have found the best place for mobile online insurance prices is Prime Meridian.

Car Hire South Africa



Car Hire in South Africa  is one of the best ways to get around when travelling in South Africa. Hiring a car gives you the freedom to travel wherever you want and it means that you don’t have to rely on the South African public transport system which can be very unreliable.

If you opt for Johannesburg car hire make sure you book your car hire well in advance to avoid disappointment. This gives you the opportunity to inquire about possible free upgrades or discounted rates on your car hire.

Consider how long you will need the car for. Occasionally weekly car hire rates are much cheaper than daily car hire rates.

B.Com Degree In Hotel Management



I was looking for a college or university to study and get a b.com degree in hotel management. I came across a private higher education institution situated in Port Alfred.  

I see that Stenden is the only institution that offers a three year b.com degree in hospitality management. I was so excited by seeing this institution and knowing that I could get my degree in 3 years.  

I went to the campus and was so amazed by all the staff and how wonderful the institution looks and all that it has to offer. Stenden is a international hospitality management institution and I am looking forward to starting my hospitality career at Stenden.

Land Rover Freelander

I was so excited to see the new changes to the Land Rover Freelander. I read about it all on www.carmag.co.za, can't wait to get my hands on it and check out the new features.The Freelander just stands out in this class, its wading depth is 50cm and has a ground clearance of 210mm! That beats my Land Rover Defender hands down! It's also permanently all wheel drive, so no worries about getting stuck
when heading off the beaten path. Front-rear torque is continuously modified by it's center-coupling technology, and this makes all the difference I can assure you. My advice would be to pick this baby up as soon as is possible and take it for a spin!
