EThekwini Municipality advises Durban Transport, Mynah, and People Mover bus commuters to check the expiry date on the front of their MUVO card.

Cards with the expiry date 11/24 and 12/24 will stop functioning after expiry. These cards are replaceable at a Muvo Paypoint or Smartvan at no cost until the end of January 2025. Thereafter, the normal card replacement fee of R20 applies.

EThekwini Transport Authority Acting Head Nelisiwe Zama said the cards need to be replaced every five years. “The cards are bank issued cards certified by Mastercard. In terms of the banking regulations, the cards have a limited life span of five years as the technology is continually updated to ensure that the security of the cards is not compromised.”

The expiring card and an original ID document are required for the swop out. Unused trips will be transferred to the new card.
