GETTING AROUND
Scooters and motorbikes
As a first-year you are welcome
to use scooters and motorbikes on
campus as long as you buy
a black parking disc from traffic
admin on upper campus.
Taxis and Uber
A huge variety of cabs are
always just a phone call and
a few minutes away. You can
save money if you share a ride
with friends, and it’s safer –
especially if you’re a little tipsy.
Trains
Cape Town has a substantial rail
network, but unfortunately the
train times are not always reliable.
The Southern Line stops at
Mowbray, Observatory, Rosebank
and Rondebosch stations, which
are all within walking distance of
UCT’s lower, middle and upper
campuses. Find timetables and
fares at metrorail.co.za.
Walking
The easiest way to get around
campus is on foot. If you’re on
campus after dark, it’s best to walk
in a group and stick to the blue
Foot Routes – these paths have
emergency points where you can
call Campus Protection
Services if you need help.
Safety first
Call 021 650 2222/3 to
have a CPS officer escort
you back to your residence
if you’re walking late at
night, especially if the
Jammie Shuttle service is
no longer running.
