good way to see and learn about Cape Town

This is a very good way to get around Cape Town. We used all three lines - red, blue and purple. The commentary on board was very informative and clear to hear. The commentary is heard using earbuds that come with the ticket.

Find another way to get around

We were told you could only scan ticket once so my husband tossed his. It turns out he needed it and even though we had proof of payment they refused to issue a new ticket. Thought it would be a good way to see the city but you would be better off using another company. It was ridiculous that they wouldn’t issue him another ticket or just let him on. The receipt even had the date

Simplify the process and QR code

Too many steps to complete the whole process you can simplify by creating boxes to tick QR code should be sent by email and sms as an individual email and not hidden inside text messages I struggle to find the QR code and kept everyone waiting in the queue I am retired and new technology changes and create unnecessary steps and processes Keep it simple keep it easier to navigate

The best way to see city events and decide which requires more time.

Great way to see the events and decide which ones warrant a closer look with more time. Many activities were fun to see but I didn't need to see them again.
