Combi operators call off strike

Reporting back to the combi operators at the Gaborone Bus Rank this afternoon, the association chairperson, Edison Tlhomelang said government officials have promised favourable feedback by November 26, 2021 (Friday). Tlhomelang and the association leadership met with Ministry of Transport officials this morning while other members were on a shutdown, protesting at the Gaborone Bus Rank.

The operators demand that the local combi fare be P7. Their reasons are that the law dictates that the transport fee shall be 30t per kilometre in the local radius of 22.2km. This adds up to P6.66 and if rounded to the nearest pula it becomes P7.
