Kombis hike fares
11 Sep 2015 at 06:41hrs | Views
SCORES of Bulawayo commuters were left stranded yesterday evening after commuter omnibus operators unilaterally increased fares from R5 and R6 to R7 for a single trip, citing the fall in value of the South African currency.
Some kombi crews attributed the fare increase to the fines they pay at police roadblocks, or bribes they sometimes fork out in lieu of fines.
Most traffic offences that attract admission of guilt spot fines require a fine of $20.
Most kombis had huge notices pasted on windows advising of the new fares.
