Kombis hike fares

Commuter omnibus operators in Zengeza have hiked their fares citing police roadblocks and VID officers who demand too much from them as the cause.

Residents who are already hard pressed for money, owing to the liquidity crunch currently bedevilling the country, will now have to fork out $1,50 instead of $1 for a trip from the dormitory town to Harare's central business district.

However, conventional buses still plying the same routes have, maintained their old fares.

Metro train buses now plying the City - St Mary's route are sticking to 5 rand per trip.

But the number of train buses is not enough and cannot satisfy demand as there are only 3 buses plying that route.

Affected routes where fares are now $1,50 in Chitungwiza are Zengeza 1-5 and St Mary's
