Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Right now, what we can tell you is that the document [the Municipality approval of the new fares] is with the Ministry of State Administration,\u201d municipal Councillor for Transport and Communication, Flora Mpula, told the media on Tuesday (12-07).<\/p>\n

Mpula said the new fares had already been approved by the municipality and that the law establishes that, after submission to the central government, the process of consideration must take no more than 45 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we do not have a response within 45 days, it means that we have already been authorized,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Stoppage of the \u201cchapeiros\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Beira\u2019s transport crisis began on Monday, when the drivers of buses and other informal urban transport vehicles again parked up demanding a review of transport fares in the city.<\/p>\n

The municipality approved proposed fare increases from 10 meticais (\u20ac0.15) to 15 meticais (0\u20ac.23) for trips within the city, and to 25 meticais (\u20ac0.29) for journeys outside the city.<\/p>\n

Am\u00e9rico Mussicuane, president of the Association of Transporters of Beira (ATABE), which convened the protest, said transporters could restart operations this Wednesday, after a meeting with the Ministry of Transport and the Municipal Council.<\/p>\n

With so many public transport vehicles standing idle at the terminals, many workers and students have been forced to walk to their destinations.<\/p>\n

Automatic fare adjustment<\/b><\/p>\n

Last week, the Mozambican Federation of Road Transport Associations (FEMATRO) asked the government to impose a mechanism for the automatic adjustment of fares in order to put an end to the uncertainty regarding the setting of tariffs and the consequent viability of the business.<\/p>\n

FEMATRO\u2019s proposal came after a spontaneous strike by passenger transport drivers in Maputo city and province in protest at the increase in fuel prices.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican Ministry of Transport and Communications has promised compensation and subsidies to carriers to mitigate the impact of rising fuel prices in Mozambique.<\/p>\n
