Kombis Hike Fares As Winding Fuel Queues Resurface

The shortage of fuel in Harare has resulted in public transport operators hiking fares. This has inconvenienced commuters as they have to contend with unbudgeted for transport fares.

A kombi driver who spoke to Newsday about the transport situation said:

Fuel shortages have worsened the situation. We have no choice, but to hike fares as the $1 we were charging was no longer sustainable. Most kombi operators are getting fuel on the black market whose prices are quite high.

Passengers’ Association of Zimbabwe president, Tafadzwa Goliati said commuter operators should stick to fares they agreed with the government. He said:

We have discussed with our other associations in Harare and they are saying prices have not yet officially been increased.

There are shortages of fuel. Kombi operators after spending hours in queues just decide to hike fares. Also even if they discover that there are a number of passengers at a bus stop they just hike fares in a bid to cover up the time they would have spent in a queue.
