There are about 10,000 transport providers in Addis Ababa, including mass transport, Midi bus (highway and subway), city taxis. However, it is still not enough to meet the needs of the community.

The city government is undertaking extensive work to address this issue. Considering the current situation in the country, the increase in tariffs announced today has excluded these public transport providers from the increase.

It is common for people in the city, especially those who are currently in service, to consider it a privilege to increase tariffs, illegal crossings and non-linearities.

Addis Ababa Transport Bureau Deputy Head of Operations Sector, Yirgalem Berhane, told Bisrat that strict action will be taken against such service providers.

Noting that there are more than 350 regulators regarding the price increase providers; “Emergency and regular inspections will be carried out and there will be severe penalties,” he said.

In connection with this, more than 300 vehicles are fined daily in Addis Ababa. They say the number of vehicles being fined daily has increased in the past.
