Cape Town: The Table Mountain Cableway is set to reopen!

Cape Town's Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) is set to resume operations on 01 September 2020. The cable car will be running from 08:00 until 15:00 seven days a week. Strict health and safety protocols have been put in place. Visitors are to please abide by TMACC's rules and regulations and wear a mask at all times. Sanitising stations are placed at the entrance and exits of the upper and lower cable car stations and are also provided inside the cable car. A maximum of 26 passengers (instead of the normal carrying capacity of 65 passengers) plus the cabin master is allowed per ride in the cable car to allow enough space for physical distancing. The floors of the cable car have been demarcated to provide for safe distancing. To ensure correct ventilation, the TMACC operates the cable car with the windows removed. The handrails of the cable car will be sanitised between each trip and a deep clean of the cable car will be conducted daily. TMACC's health and safety representatives are on site to test the temperature of any passengers showing symptoms of COVID-19. Should someone have a high temperature, their physical contact with staff and visitors will be contained. For those who celebrated their birthdays during the national lockdown, it is possible for visitors to claim their free ticket. Claims can be made up to two weeks after the re-opening to local visitors.
