Kombi Drivers Obstruct ZUPCO Buses From Entering Terminus, Angered By $1 Fares

Kombi drivers were aggrieved by the government’s decision to re-introduce $1 ZUPCO buses. The move has negatively affected kombi operators who of late, have developed a tendency to hike fares at the drop of a hat.

ZUPCO and other buses were blocked by Kombis from the terminus in protest of the new fares that were gazetted by the government, refusing to pave way for the `buses at Harare Central Charge Office bus terminus.

In a report by the local tabloid H-Metro, one of the Kombi drivers said that the introduction of buses has had a devastating effect on their profit as they are now losing business to the ZUPCO buses.
