CONSTANT FUEL INCREASE

I bet all motorists are asking themselves ‘When will it end’ The price of petrol keeps increasing every month and sadly nothing can be done about this. I find it so strange that only Gauteng motorists are affected by these constant fuel hikes. Other provinces such as Durban and Polokwane do not have to worry about ridiculous fuel prices. A litre of 95 ULP (unleaded) petrol in Gauteng costs R12.22
As usual our government continues to fail with regards to considering the Public’s opinion about the Fuel hikes, petrol increasing affects us all it has a huge impact on everyone’s lives. Public Transport has made a decision to also increase their fares, i mean would you blame them? With Petrol increasing every month what other choice do they have?
Gauteng Taxi Council (Gataco) spokesman Ralph Jones said that taxi commuters travelling long distances to and from the city must prepare for price hikes of up to R20 a single trip
Taxi’s are not the only one’s planning to increase prices, Putco and Metrobus companies also said they will increase percentages, but this will only be confirmed in July 2012

Thumbs up for the video link, i'll admit i was kind of lazy to read to i just viewed the video and still got all the important information.
ReplyDeletei think its unfair that taxi inreases when Petrol increases, but when petrol go's down the taxi prices remain!!!!
You have pointed out an important aspect which i never paid attention too. Taxi's do increase yet they dont reduce fares when petrol decreses its prices how ironic.
ReplyDeleteThe Govenment is killing our economy , as said on the video link the poor are going to become more poor. And the government is dpoing nothing about this. This is a serious issue in Gateng
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, poor people are going to suffer more.
ReplyDeleteIf you were part of the Government what were you going to do about this issue? oh lets say if you were the president of this nation.
