Matatu operators have rejected plans by Parliament to empower National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to set minimum and maximum public transport fares.
The proposal, contained in the National Transport and Safety Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2023, was debated at the National Assembly on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
The Bill seeks to empower NTSA to approve and regulate fares charged by Public Service Vehicles (PSVs), which could end the current system where operators can increase fares without following proper channels.
