Zupco back on Harare urban roads

ZUPCO will on Monday re-introduce a Harare intra-urban transport system. 

Zupco northern division operations manager Mr Kuda Maraini said initially seven 65-seater buses would be deployed in Norton, Budiriro, Glenview, Epworth, Chikurubi, Kuwadzana, Domboshava and Chitungwiza.

On some of the routes like Norton, Kuwadzana Extension, Epworth and Domboshava the service would intially be during the morning and evening peak hours.

“Our aim eventually is to cover the whole city. You will be able to see a Zupco bus at every turn,” he said.

“The Zimbabwe United Passenger Company Limited is pleased to inform the travelling public that it is re-introducing commuter omnibus services within Harare that will depart from Rezende Bus Terminus,” reads the statement.

The fare would be US$.50 per trip.

Government through the Transport, Communication and Infrastructural Development ministry has already issued a new national transport policy that seeks to re-introduce the mass bus transport system.
