The City of Cape Town is set to introduce new traffic regulations for tour buses entering Cape Town's historic Bo-Kaap neighborhood. Large tour buses (36-seaters and above) will no longer be permitted to travel through the Bo-Kaap via Wale Street.
Smaller tour buses, with 35 seats or fewer, may still access Wale Street but are limited to a designated drop-and-go zone located outside the Bo-Kaap Museum. After dropping off passengers, these buses must proceed to the designated parking area behind the Schotsche Kloof Civic Centre on Yusuf Drive. Additionally, the existing parking area along Buitengracht Street (southern approach, just south of Wale Street) will be converted into a dedicated stop-and-drop facility for large tour buses. A separate section of Buitengracht - between Church Street and Shortmarket Street - will also be upgraded with three new bus bays to support the change. The signage will be implemented soon
These measures aim to reduce traffic congestion in the Bo-Kaap, following multiple complaints from residents about large tour buses disrupting traffic flow along Upper Wale Street.
