This would certainly be a very welcome idea. Go to Rumphi and see how minibuses to and from Hewe 65kms west of Rumphi Boma pack passengers. From Rumphi it is four passengers on all the seats. From Bolero to Hewe the front seat accommodates another passenger to make three and the fourth is the driver who sits sideways while driving. The worst thing is that desperate passengers even sit on the roof of the minibus. In total a vanette/bongo minibus has well over 25 people on the bad and potholed road. This is really dangerous on the part of passengers.

If passengers were to be sitting three on each chair, the discomfort issue would not arise. However, because the police have failed to enforce that law by demanding bribes all the time when a minibus exceeds capacity. Minibus drivers and/or owners have also continued to “pack” four passengers per seat! Wake up you government, most of Malawi’s troubles stem from the spirit of corruption aka cashgate

I hope there has been careful consideration on whether the current provision of commuter services satifies demand for the service. If not, properly planned tax waivers would be a solution

Does the Malawi government have any model for public transport? All we see is chaos on the roads. No proper bus stops in town, etc. And one question that the government has to respond is ‘why do we have so many accidents on the roads and so much failure in enforcing rules on the roads when there are so many traffics officers everyday on the roads?’. The Malawi Police, especially traffic police are the root cause of all the mediocrity in Malawi

The problem here its not minbus owners but the traffic police who have failed to enforce the law and resort to receiving bribes from minbus drivers. If anything the law must be enforced not banning minbuses.
