Harare City Council is merging over 20 commuter omnibus associations into a single body, aiming to tame the city's chaotic public transport scene. The plan involves creating one main association with up to six affiliates, making it easier for the council to keep things in check.
Mayor Jacob Mafume said the current setup is a regulatory nightmare. "We have too many associations running around, making it hard to keep tabs on them," he said. The new system will let affiliates handle self-regulation, while the council provides the rules. Follow our Whatsapp Channel For Instant Updates
Ngoni Katsvairo, a transport association leader, welcomed the move, noting that only 5,400 of the 18,000 public service vehicles are registered. The merger could lead to better-managed commuter ranks and more investment in modern transport.
