Travelling beneficiaries of the FG 50 slash in interstate transport fares
The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) says its vehicles have commenced the 50 percent slash in the price of interstate transport fares for Nigerians travelling during this Yuletide.
The Nation reports that President Tinubu on Wednesday, December 20, approved a 50% rebate for inter-state travels and 100% for train travels for Nigerians wishing to embark on travels to other parts of the country for the Christmas and New Year festivities.
This was contained in a statement by the NURTW Oshodi branch on Friday, December 22.
The statement noted that transport fares can be reviewed upwards without notice due to an increase in passenger travel because of the yuletide season.
It also said that transport operators can increase their number of buses frequency without notice due to an increase in passenger demand. (The Nation)
