Zimbabwe’s public transport infrastructure offers vast investment potential, particularly in areas of road construction, mass urban transport systems and e-tolling, a Cabinet minister has said.
Speaking at the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Transport Congress and Exhibition in Dubai on Monday, Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona outlined the numerous opportunities.
“In Zimbabwe’s public transport and transport infrastructure, especially in the wake of the disruptive pandemic and market developments, new frontiers of transformative public transport developments have arisen in the following areas: road transport infrastructural development; mass urban transport systems; bulk freight and passenger railway transport solutions, including distributive centres within the framework of inland terminals to integrate the marine systems in neighbouring SADC coastal nations and our dry inland continental networks,” he said.
These sectors, Minister Mhona added, present a platform for Zimbabwe to cooperate with the MENA region, its member states and partners such as the International Association of Public Transport and the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority.
Zimbabwe intends to be enlisted as an active member of the International Association of Public Transport.
