Lusaka Bus & Taxi Fares Hiked
Bus and taxi fares in Lusaka have been increased.
This follows the adjustment in the pump price of fuel by the Energy Regulation Board -ERB- and increase in road tax, fitness and identity cost by the Road Transport and Safety Agency- RTSA.
Bus and Taxi Owners Association of Zambia Acting Spokesperson Peter Phiri says the increment takes effect on Monday, July 20, 2015.
Mr. Phiri says fares have been hiked on all Lusaka routes to between one kwacha and two kwacha, depending on the distance.
Mr. Phiri has equally appealed to Livingstone taxi operators who rioted over the increase in road tax to remain calm, as the association will find a way to dialogue with government over the matter.
But Transport Minister Yamfwa Mukanga says the planned increase in bus and taxi fares is illegal, as it has no authority from government.
Mr. Mukanga has also told ZNBC News in a telephone interview that he will discuss with the Finance Ministry which issued the Statutory Instrument on RTSA fares to see how best the issue can be resolved

It is a shame having a government that doesn’t know what to do like for real. Country is on autopilot but come voting…. ifintu ni fyototo they will forget their suffering. Why should we all suffer for stupidly of a Govt that seem not to care but wasting time on cheap media stunts like prison visit?

This is what I said last week yet PF cadres being dull couldn’t see the start of the chain reaction. Iam still asking what’s Edgar C. Lungu’s official position on fuel crisis? General economy failure? Does he even have an exit strategy? No, he’s busy enjoying the ifintu ni Lungu silver plater regardless being honest about his clueless vision.

Hh will never ever go to state house; full stop!! January 20 elections saw him increase his tally of votes simply because he had the financial and material support of the South African mining magnate. Come Sepotember 2016; that support will not be there for hh and he will lose by the biggest margin ever recorded in a presidential election in mother Zambia. The likes of NEZ and Joe Bidden shall lick their electoral wounds! VIVA H.E. ECL!! Abash satanist!

Amano mambulwa. Bane sometimes we should show civility as we support groups that appeal to us for various reasons. Hello Haters has impressed me. Stop supporting blindly, you’ll end up into the ditch.
Continue with your party but at times try to reason with the reality.
Pf and upnd are working together to try to balance things. Each party is contributing something to our welfare. All other live parties are doing it except those that have hibernated.
When will Muhabi Lungu join the ruling party? Is he an opposition by birth?
Journalists help us understand this man. What is the rational behind joining former ruling parties? Is he a scavenger specialised at finishing off former ruling parties?
Am I wrong to call him a hyna or vulture? News online media guys help us here.

Even in households there are problems do you leave your family just because you dad did not come with a loaf of bread? Or maybe when there is a problem in that house hold? PF this is the time to support your party those who are saying that come next I will vote for HH are not truly PF.
