THE Harare City Council has prohibited picking and dropping of passengers at undesignated points, saying this is causing congestion during peak hours.
In a notice on Tuesday, HCC said illegal ranks were sprouting around Harare.
“Our observations have been that this is exacerbated by buses and commuter omnibuses that are picking and dropping passengers at undesignated points,” said the council. “Some park on the streets and block lanes, resulting in heavy congestion.
“Council would like to advise public transport operators along Sam Nunjoma (Second Street) that with immediate effect, they must use Coventry Road Rank and Mbare Musika.
“All buses destined for Bulawayo that are illegally picking passengers from Showgrounds or along Samora Machel Avenue must use Mbare Musika and Coventry Road Bus Rank.”
