The Liberian government’s new nationwide transport fare structure has sparked confusion and disagreement among commercial drivers and commuters alike.
Announced by the Ministry of Transport, the revised pricing aims to ease the financial strain on citizens amid rising living costs. However, its rollout has been marred by poor communication and enforcement challenges, leaving many unsure about the correct fares.
Drivers argue that the new rates are unrealistic given fuel prices and maintenance costs, while passengers accuse them of overcharging. Authorities say discussions are ongoing to ensure smooth implementation and public clarity.
