The Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Mr Nick Mangwana has said transport operators with valid permits were eligible to transport people to and from work after it emerged that ZUPCO was overwhelmed with passengers who have to be ferried to and from work while maintaining social distancing and adhering to COVID-19 safety measures in the process.
While clarifying on who qualifies to be a public transporter Nick Mangwana said:
The President has been very clear on the issue of buses. It is very clear that those in the transport business have not been stopped. They were not stopped from operating as long as they have operating licences
Many bus operators have their buses under the franchised Zupco fleet. However, buses are not allowed to operate between cities as intercity travel is still not allowed.
