Govt Promises To Deploy Enough ZUPCO Buses Tomorrow

The government said that there will be enough buses to carry people to their destinations tomorrow in light of the MDC’s planned demonstrations.

Zimbabwe United Passengers Company (ZUPCO) chief executive Everisto Madangwa to The Herald that the company will provide adequate coaches for everyone. He said:

As ZUPCO, we are saying our commuters should not be worried about transport issues during the so-called demonstrations. There will be enough buses for them.

We will not be affected at all by the demonstrations and our buses will be operating as usual, so we are assuring all citizens countrywide that there will be reliable and adequate transport for them.

During the January 2019 protests, hundreds of commuters were left stranded after transporters suddenly pulled their vehicles off the road. Some commuters were forced to walk from the city centre to Chitungwiza, a distance of approximately 27km.
