The City of Windhoek will expand its passenger service to include white-collar commuters amid escalating fuel prices.

The bus fare is N$5 compared to the N$7 taxi fare because the City of Windhoek subsidises the fare by about 60 percent.

The blue-collar workers, scholars and students constitute between 20 and 25 percent of the passenger transport market in Windhoek. This translates into 8??????’??
