Minibus Operators to Discuss Possible Fare Reduction After Petrol Price Drop
Published on May 8, 2026 at 3:42 PM by Evance Kapito
The Minibus Owners Association says it will hold talks with its members over calls to reduce transport fares following the recent drop in petrol prices.
This follows a fuel price adjustment by Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA), which saw the price of petrol decrease from K6,672 to K6,209 per litre.
However, the price of diesel remains unchanged at K6,687 per litre.
Secretary General of the association, Coxley Kamange, said although the reduction in petrol prices is small, the association is willing to engage members on the proposal in a bid to ease pressure on customers who are struggling with rising transport costs.
