The year is coming to an end and 2012 has been a good all rounder for Cape Town, that produced a year filled with excitement and activities witch included international performances such as, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Linkin Park, Cold Play and U2. 

The Cape Argus, The Two Oceans Marathon and the Spar Ladies Mile all broke records in participants and was as usual a huge success.  At Newlands Rugby stadium the Western Province Rugby team impressed all by winning the Currie Cup Final for the first time in 11 years.

Road upgrades in and around Cape Town has been phenomenal  with the boys at the council working around the clock to ensure that our roads are the best  in South Africa and ready for the high season as thousands of visitors are expected to stream into Cape Town. The Talbleview bus route has been extended that makes the flow of traffic more efficient and bearable for the locals.

Theaters, arena’s and parks were jam packed this year and kids were not excluded. Nina and the Neurons, The Dolphin story and Tinkerbelle were just some of the mentions that kids could enjoy with their families.

 Citi Shuttles group would like to pledge our readers to drive safe this season and wish all a Blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
