For all those 160 years, Golden Arrow has worked to give Cape Town people safe, affordable, and dependable bus rides. They also help Cape Town’s economy.

They operate the main bus routes from Table View to the city center and also routes between the city center, Sea Point, and Camps Bay through their company, Table Bay Rapid Transit (TBRT).
