THE ZAMBIAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IS IN A STATE OF SHAMBLES
The government must invest in an efficient and affordable public transportation systems to reduce the burden of transportation costs in the country.
Whilst the private sector is encouraged to invest in the transport sector, the importance of transportation reigning in the cost-of-living crisis cannot be overemphasized.
In this regard, it is the role of the government to ensure that the public transportation system is well organised and well aligned.
This is why, Golden Party of Zambia, GPZ in government will have to address the issue of transportation including provision of mass movement options like;
1. City busses
2. High speed trains and
3. City trams.
Investment in a robust public transportation system in the country and particularly in major cities of Lusaka, Ndola and Kitwe will go a long way in reducing the cost of doing business in the country and will invariably lead to improved standard of living for our people.

On this one I support you 100%. The city to city buses better than the intracity mini buses. These mini buses are managed by rascals, very dirty, always drunk, disrespectful idi-ots. One wonders who even employs them. They are very rude and disobey traffic rules with impunity, yet they are left scot-free. Could it be true that most of these dilapidated mini buses are owned by police officers? Anyway, regardless of who owns them, government must dialogue with them to provide orderly and respectful services otherwise they should be deregistered. They are a Hazzard on the road and make our cities look very disorganized.
How can it not be in shambles when the Minister is at the airport bootlicking…..instead of working. Nchito ni bani woane bani woane ba boss. No clean up the sector.
Find a way of cleaning the corrupt cops with the Minister of Home Affairs. Ban wreckless Mini bus drivers for life. Revoke the licences of licenced drivers who dont understand nor follow the highway code.
And how do you have traffic cops who dont know or understand the highways code.
Investigate who owns these mini buses and vehicles that are not road worthy or drive around without number plates. Instead of insulting each other with the DC work.
