By A Correspondent- The Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO) today left hundreds of passengers stranded after their buses rejected fare payments in cash.

The most affected were those from Chitungwiza who had no tap cards.

ZUPCO buses from Chitungwiza were seen returning to the city with empty seats. 

Some of the drivers used their tap cards to pay for passengers but would charge a premium. 

Zupco buses charge $45 for a single trip to or from the city and for a passenger without a tap card, drivers were charging $60.

Commuters slammed the bus operator for this move and called Government to urgently look into the issue.
