Sibusiso Zungu:
“The taxi industry is really struggling to cope with the petrol hikes. Hopefully, next month things will be better, we want petrol to decrease.”
Sibusiso Dhlamini:
“As a taxi owner, fuel increases always negatively affect our profits and it means we have to spend more and more on fuel.”
Robert Masondo:
“Petrol hikes are not only a disadvantage for us, but for commuters who rely on public transport too. They also have to adjust their budget.”
Bonginkosi Dladla:
“If it keeps hiking it affects our profits, then we’ll have to adjust prices. Most commuters are not earning enough money, it’s unfair.”
Petros Malema:
“We are always conflicted because if we change prices, it hits the poorest people who are already spending most of their income on public transport.”
Sphamandla Hlophe:
“The regular increase of fuel makes us seem inconsiderate to commuters because we have to constantly up the taxi fares.”
