When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out the government of Zimbabwe banned private players in the urban public transport industry. They imposed a ZUPCO monopoly that failed to meet the two-year demand. In April of 2022, they eventually scrapped this monopoly and allowed private players back. ZUPCO now officially competes with private players and these days ZUPCO buses are not even the cheapest

NB
- USD equivalent prices are automatically updated by our system based on the prevailing market rates.
- This is done for informational purposes only.
- ZiG and ZWL prices are automatically calculated by our systems based on current rates
- We will stop publishing ZWL prices on 26 April 2024
- A fare of $0 does not mean a free ride but rather means that the transport mode is not available. For example, ZUPCO kombis do not cover routes that are more than 20 KM from the CBD.
- A kombi also is a passenger vehicle with a carrying capacity of 15 passengers although it often carries 19 excluding the driver and conductor who often hang from the door. ZUPCO kombis carry 18 passengers because the conductor has a seat.
- Often ZUPCO fails to meet demand leaving pirate taxis and private vehicles to fill the gap
- These vehicles usually match the price of ZUPCO although some charge more or less
