“The new road transport fares cover the following types of Road Transport Operations : Intra-City (Trotro), Inter-City (Long Distance) and Taxis Cabs.’’
The statement also advised drivers and members, as well as commuters to co-operate for the ‘’success of these changes’’.
The increase in fares comes on the back of recent increment in fuel prices by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).
