One of the travelers, Chinedu Chukwudi, who was travelling to Owerri, lamented the hike in transport fare. They are complaining that the road is bad and endless gridlock in many parts due to the construction of major roads”. Am sure, most travellers are not prepared for up to 100 per cent hike. the increase in transport fare is not because of bad road, it increases everyday during festive period. According to them, most transport operators consider the challenges and factor them into the fare, which is usually passed down to the poor masses.
