Inter-city Bus fares fall

RTSA head of public relations, Fredrick Mubanga, has stated that inter-city bus fares have fallen by K10.

The price fall is due to a drop in fuel pump prices.

Mr Mubanga also stated that “However, bus fares for other routes including inter-mine, peri-urban and local routes will be maintained due to the negligible average price reduction of petrol and diesel respectively.”
