ZUPCO To Partner Private-Public Transporters In Servicing Urban Routes

The state-owned bus company, the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO) has partnered with private-public transporters in a mass transportation exercise.

This comes after most commuter omnibus operators grounded their vehicles last week during nationwide protests. Thousands of commuters were left stranded on Friday.

Transport and Infrastructural Development deputy minister Fortune Chasi told Newsday yesterday that the private conventional bus operators would get fuel at ZUPCO depots. Said Chasi:

Enough buses have been made available to cover all urban routes as of tomorrow (today), where they will be provided with fuel by Zupco and in the long run, from dedicated fuel service providers.

I would like to inform the general public that in the interest of public safety and well-being, government has introduced the new bus service in urban areas so as to ensure cheap and efficient service, while at the same time safeguarding them from imminent danger as well as unfair charging systems that were constantly introduced by private commuter operators.

The government hiked fuel prices over a week ago. Public transport operators subsequently hiked transport fares. Fuel is still unavailable at service stations even though the prices were steeply raised.
