The Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco) has assured the commuting public that it is making huge efforts to address transport shortages that were experienced in some urban centres since Monday evening.
In a statement on Tuesday, Zupco said the transport shortage, which is likely to worsen this evening, was caused by delays in fuel deliveries at Zupco.
Pirate taxi operators were yesterday taking advantage of the situation and were charging up to US$2 for local routes.
Most people who commute to work were this morning left stranded due to the scarcity of Zupco buses.
“The Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco), wishes to advise the commuting public that, there will be transport challenges this evening,” reads the statement.
“This has resulted from delays in fuel deliveries at (Zupco). However, the commuting public should not panic as illustrious efforts are underway to ensure that the challenge is resolved.
“We regret and apologise to all our valued customers for any inconveniences caused. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.”
