After the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) announced new fuel prices fall to Rwf 940 per liter, Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA) is reviewing possible ways to reduce transportation fees.
Fuel had increased to Rwf 1200, then reduced to Rwf 1000 and now Rwf 940 but transport costs had remained static.
“We know the problem of transport costs but in few days we shall announce new tariffs that will be slightly down,” said Regis Gatarayiha the acting Director General of RURA.
Speaking to IGIHE.com, Gatarayiha said that on yesterday a meeting was convened with the transport companies’ representatives to discuss possible ways to put favorable costs for passengers.
This comes after passengers started complaining of the static transport fares as fuel prices dropped several times.
Kayitesi Jeannette of Kimironko Sector, Gasabo District said that transport fares from the city center to Kimironko should reduce from Rwf 200 to Rwf 150.
