15% transport fare cut takes effect today
The reduction in transport fares following the fall in fuel prices at the pumps is expected to begin today, Monday, 19 December 2022, across the country.
The Concerned Drivers Association had earlier announced a 10 per cent reduction in transport fares.
This was contained in a statement issued by the association on Friday, 16 December 2022.
According to the association, it has “noticed the significant reduction in fuel prices at the pumps.”
It indicated: “Despite the reduction, transportation fares have not been reduced but broader consultation with stakeholders is still ongoing to look into the call for fares reduction.”
The statement noted: “Although the current increase in the prices of spare parts and lubricants is making the reduction in fares almost impossible and the margin of reduction is very bad,” passengers are assured of a “10% reduction in fares effective Monday 19 /12/2022.”
The 15.3 per cent announcement followed a meeting between the transport operators and the ministry of transport.
