17 Dec 2024 Picture gliding effortlessly through Cape Town’s most vibrant neighbourhood in a zero-emission electric shuttle, connecting with all your favourite destinations while helping protect our environment. At the V&A Waterfront, we’re piloting this exciting initiative — and it’s completely free for everyone to enjoy! Learning and growing sustainably Since 2008, the V&A Waterfront has been working to implement sustainable practices across our neighbourhood. From water conservation and waste management to community empowerment, we are guided by our commitment to people and the planet. Our new eco-mobility shuttle service pilot represents another step in this ongoing journey of learning and improvement. Meet our green fleet Our fleet of seven Zbee Electric Scooters isn’t just about transportation — it’s part of our exploration of sustainable mobility solutions, offering visitors a unique way to explore while reducing our carbon footprint. Your FREE passport to adventure With eight convenient hubs strategically placed throughout the precinct, your next destination is just a hop away. Whether you’re heading to the cultural heart of the Silo District, the historic charm of the Clock Tower, or the urban energy of Battery Park, our shuttles connect you to the best of the V&A Waterfront – all at zero cost to you! Creating opportunities, empowering communities This initiative aims to go beyond environmental sustainability. Through our partnership with Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator and the SA Youth Platform, we’re working to create meaningful employment opportunities for young female drivers. This project, operated by The Green Cab with a grant from the uYilo Kick Start Fund, explores how green initiatives can drive positive social change. Looking to the future In 2025, we plan to expand our eco-mobility offerings with new services, including: • Hour-long guided Waterfront tours • Evening dinner transfer services • Convenient last-mile solutions for office workers These additions will complement our free shuttle service, providing more ways to explore and enjoy our neighbourhood sustainably. Be part of positive change When we act from our better nature, nature gets better. This isn’t just a clever slogan – it’s our guiding principle when it comes to creating a neighbourhood that leads in sustainability, celebrates creativity, and drives positive change. Ready to start your eco-friendly adventure? Look for our clearly marked shuttle hubs at Canal Plaza, Silo Square, the Two Oceans Aquarium, and five other convenient locations throughout the V&A Waterfront. Welcome aboard!
