HARARE Mayor Councillor Jacob Mafume said there are private players who intend to buy 200 buses for public transportation.
In communications to the mayor at the 1947th Ordinary council meeting at townhouse recently, Clr Mafume said there is need to finish negotiations before the buses arrive.
He said this is part of what they picked up at the World Forum held this month in Azerbaijan.
“They have a beautiful bus transport system and we want to adopt that transport system. We met some people who have bought 200 buses,” he said.
“Before the buses arrive, we need to finish negotiations. Let’s expedite this bus issue. We need to roll out public transport in a big way in Harare.
“This is something we have been criticised for not doing. These are private actors who have decided to buy 200 buses. We probably need more, but we need to give them a bankable plan to proceed.”
